Comparison of Continuous Femoral Nerve Block Using Ultrasound Versus Ultrasound and Nerve Stimulation Using Stimulating Catheter in Patients Undergoing Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Ultrasound and Ultrasound + Nerve Stimulation for Anesthesia and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 82 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine which technique for catheter placement in continuous femoral nerve block (FNB) is most successful - guidance with (1) ultrasound or (2) nerve stimulation and ultrasound. Sensory and motor assessment scores will be obtained post-FNB. Patient controlled analgesia and opiate consumption is also recorded along with pain scores for the first 48 hour post-FNB.
