Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Epidural catheter
Epidural catheter infusion of bupivacaine 0.1% (4-6 cc/h) at level L3-L4
|
Bony landmarks and the space between the lower lumbar vertebrae are identified.
Subsequently, infiltration of the skin and subcutaneous cellular tissue with local anesthetic (Lidocaine 2% without epinephrine) is performed at the site to be punctured.
A 17G Tuohy needle is inserted 2-4 cm through the skin, then the mandrel is removed, the low-resistance syringe is connected, and the loss of resistance is checked using the air or liquid technique, depending on the preference of the anesthesiologist. .
Appreciating the loss of resistance in the embolus, the mandrel is then withdrawn and the epidural catheter is advanced to leave it an additional 5 cm inside the epidural space.

|
Active Comparator: Continuous sciatic nerve block
Continuous sciatic catheter infusion of bupivacaine 0.1% (6-10 cc/h)
|
The patient is placed in the prone or supine position with the limb to be blocked flexed at 90°.
Using a high-frequency linear transducer and using sterile technique, the popliteal sciatic nerve is identified in an axial axis.
A 17G Tuohy needle is inserted plane and medial.
Saline solution (5 ml) is applied to open the perineural space.
Adequate hydrodissection and donut sign in the nerve are observed..A perineural catheter is then advanced 5 cm beyond the tip of the needle.
The catheter is fixed with stitches and a transparent sterile dressing is placed.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Posoperative Pain
Time Frame: 3 months
|
Pain score according to the daily NRS scale (Numeric Pain Rating Scale), Numeric Pain Rating Scale, for 15 days POP and subsequently monthly until completing 3 months.
is scores from 0 to 10, 10 being the worst value.
|
3 months
|
Phantom Limp Pain
Time Frame: 3 months
|
For this qualitative dichotomous outcome, you will ask about symptomatology referring to phantom limb pain for 15 days POP and subsequently monthly until completing 3 months, It will be qualified as positive if it presents any neuropathic symptom.
|
3 months
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Phantom Limp Pain first Year
Time Frame: 1 year
|
Presence of phantom limb pain on a monthly basis until completing 12 month, The patient will be asked about the appearance of any painful sensation described as stabbing, shooting, electric shock, dull, tight pain and/or cramp in the anatomical site where the amputated limb would be, evaluating the presence or absence of the same (s).
This will be questioned every day for 15 POPs days and monthly follow-up will continue via telephone until completing 3 months.
|
1 year
|
Opioid Consumption
Time Frame: 36 hours
|
the total consumption in mg of morphine or its equivalent at 12, 24 and 36 h POP will be evaluated.
|
36 hours
|
Incidence of nausea and vomiting POP
Time Frame: 36 hours
|
Incidence of nausea and vomiting POP in each group: the appearance of nausea or vomiting at 12, 24 and 36 h POP will be asked.
|
36 hours
|
Incidence of adverse effects
Time Frame: 1 year
|
any appearance of hematoma, hypotension (defined as SBP less than 90 mmHg or a 30% decrease in baseline MAP) or bradycardia (HR less than 60 bpm) is defined.
|
1 year
|
Days of hospital stay
Time Frame: during the time of hospitalization, on average 10 days
|
Days of hospital stay through study completion
|
during the time of hospitalization, on average 10 days
|
Mortality
Time Frame: 1 year

Other Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Posoperative Satisfaction
Time Frame: 36 hours
|
Postoperative satisfaction measured with the EVAN LR scale (evaluation of local anesthetic satisfaction). It consists of a self-reported scale that measures satisfaction in the postoperative period of patients undergoing regional anesthesia in different surgical models (51), with an evaluation of 19 items structured in a global index and five unweighted dimensions, each of which covers some aspects such as Attention (4 items), Information (5 items), Discomfort (4 items), Waiting (2 items) and Pain (4 items). has a score for questions between 20 and 100 points, the lower the score, the lower satisfaction by dimension |
