ABSTRACT

STUDY OBJECTIVE: To compare spinal anesthesia and combined sciatic-femoral nerve block for outpatient knee arthroscopy. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled study. SETTING: Postoperative recovery area at a university-affiliated medical center. PATIENTS: 50 ASA physical status I and II adult outpatients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. INTERVENTIONS: Study subjects were equally divided (n = 25 each) into spinal and sciatic-femoral groups. Spinal group patients received spinal anesthesia with 7.5 mg of 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine. Sciatic-femoral group patients received combined sciatic-femoral nerve blocks using a mixture of 20 mL of lidocaine 2% plus 20 mL of bupivacaine 0.5%. MEASUREMENTS: Times including that from arrival in the operating room to readiness for surgery, duration of surgery, recovery time, and patient satisfaction were recorded. Analgesia and occurrence of adverse events also were recorded. MAIN RESULTS: No significant differences between the two groups were found for any of the study measurements of recovery. After discharge, postoperative pain differed significantly between groups only at 6 hours (P < 0.002). Patient satisfaction was high with both techniques. CONCLUSIONS: Combined sciatic-femoral nerve block for outpatient arthroscopic knee surgery offers satisfactory anesthesia, with a clinical profile similar to that of low-dose spinal anesthesia. Sciatic-femoral nerve blocks are associated with significantly lower pain scores during the first 6 postoperative hours.

ABSTRACT

Se ha sugerido que la anestesia regional posee efectos benéficos en cirugía ambulatoria resultando en mejor analgesia, superior satisfacción del paciente y disminución de la utilización de recursos. El objetivo del presente estudio fue comparar dos técnicas anestésicas regionales en relación con la preparación para cirugía y la recuperación de los pacientes, en una población ambulatoria estandarizada. Métodos: Se estudiaron 50 pacientes adultos, ASA I-II, sometidos a cirugía artroscópica de rodilla. Los sujetos se dividieron aleatoriamente en grupo espinal (n = 25) y grupo ciático-femoral (n=25). Pacientes del grupo espinal recibieron anestesia subaracnoidea con 7.5 mg de bupivacaina hiperbárica. Pacientes del grupo ciáticofemoral recibieron bloqueo nervioso ciático-femoral utilizando una mezcla de 20 mL de lidocaina al 2 por cien más 20 mL de bupivacaina al 0.5 por cien. Se registraron los tiempos desde el ingreso a salas de cirugía hasta el comienzo de la misma, duración del procedimiento quirúrgico, tiempos de recuperación, satisfacción del paciente, calidad de la analgesia y ocurrencia de efectos adversos. Resultados: No se encontraron diferencias significativas en las medidas de recuperación entre los dos grupos. Luego de la salida del hospital el dolor difirió significativamente a las 6 horas post-operatorias (P = 0.002). La satisfacción fue alta con ambas técnicas. Conclusiones: En pacientes sometidos ambulatoriamente a cirugía artroscópica de rodilla la utilización de bloqueo nervioso ciático-femoral ofrece anestesia satisfactoria con un perfil clínico similar al obtenido con anestesia espinal a bajas dosis. Sin embargo, el bloqueo ciático-femoral se asocia significativamente con menos dolor durante las primeras 6 horas post-operatorias.
