Ultrasound Guided Distal Sciatic Nerve Block - a Randomised Comparison With Nerve Stimulator Technique

Helios Research Center·interventional·Posted Jul 18, 2012·Updated Nov 1, 2013

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating midazolam, Prilocaine 1%, and 3 other interventions for Other Surgical Procedures. Completed, enrolled 250 participants.

Detailed Summary

For distal sciatic nerve block this prospective, randomised comparison with ultrasound guided distal subepineural block tested the hypothesis, that intraepineural injection of local anesthetic using nerve stimulation technique is common and associated with high success rate.

Interventions

midazolamdrug

Prior to performing the regional anesthesia the investigators administered midazolam as a premedication by mouth (3,75-7,5mg) or intravenously (2-3mg).

Prilocaine 1%drug

20ml Prilocaine 1% for distal sciatic nerve block (30ml Prilocaine 1% in outpatients)

Ropivacaine 0.75%drug

10ml Ropivacaine 0.75% for distal sciatic nerve block (not in outpatients)

Prilocaine 1%drug

10ml Prilocaine 1% for saphenous nerve block

ultrasound guidancedevice

In group US the sciatic nerve localization and needle guidance is realized using ultrasound.

nerve stimulation techniquedevice

In the group NS sciatic nerve localization and needle guidance is realized using nerve stimulation technique. However, ultrasound is used observing (Observer) the procedure, but blinded for the physician (Anesthetist) performing the block.
