ABSTRACT

Objective:

To compare the efficacy of pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block combined with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) block versus fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) in elderly patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia.

Methods:

Fifty-eight patients of both sexes, aged 65-85 yr, with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ, scheduled for elective direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty, were divided into 2 groups ( n=29 each) using a random number table

method:

PENG block plus LFCN block group (PL group) and FICB group (F group). In group PL, the mixture (20 ml) of 0.375% ropivacaine hydrochloride and dexamethasone 3.3 mg was injected around the nerve innervating the hip joint capsule under ultrasound guidance.In group F, the mixture (30 ml) of 0.375% ropivacaine hydrochloride and dexamethasone 5 mg was injected around the nerve innervating the fascia iliaca compartment under ultrasound guidance.All the patients received patient-controlled intravenous analgesia with oxycodone after surgery.When visual analogue scale scores≥4 points, oxycodone 1 mg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic.The intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was recorded.First time to ambulation, discharge destination, length of hospital stay, and effective pressing times of analgesic pump, requirement for rescue analgesia and the incidence of quadriceps weakness, nausea and vomiting and nerve block related complications within 48 h after surgery were recorded.

Results:

Compared with F group, intraoperative consumption of remifentanil was significantly decreased, effective pressing times of analgesic pump and incidence of quadriceps weakness were decreased, first time to ambulation and length of hospital stay were shortened, and first discharge destination was prolonged ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the requirement for rescue analgesia and the incidence of nausea ( P>0.05) in group PL.

Conclusion:

PENG block combined with LFCN block can reduce intraoperative consumption of opioids, be helpful for inhibiting postoperative pain sensitivity, and improve early recovery than FICB when used for total hip arthroplasty under general anesthesia.
