Peng Block in Total Hip Replacement: Effects of Anesthetic Volume on Clinical Outcome and Postoperative Complications

This study is to investigate whether a different volume of ropivacaine, with the same prescribed dosage based on body weight, can affect block efficacy, duration and side effects in the first 24 hours postoperatively.

Detailed Description

patients were divided into 3 groups on the basis of the volume of anesthetic given to perform the block. in every patient was assessed the nrs, the side effects, if any, and the need for analgesic drugs in the first 24 hour after surgery

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
15 ml local anesthetic
in this group of patients the peng block was performed with 15 ml of ropivacaine, whose dose was obtained on the weight
The local anesthetic was dosed on the patient's weight (50-59kg: 120mg, 60-61kg: 140mg, 70-79kg: 160mg, ≥80kg: 180mg)
20 ml local anesthetic
in this group of patients the peng block was performed with 20 ml of ropivacaine, whose dose was obtained on the weight
The local anesthetic was dosed on the patient's weight (50-59kg: 120mg, 60-61kg: 140mg, 70-79kg: 160mg, ≥80kg: 180mg)
30 ml local anesthetic
in this group of patients the peng block was performed with 30 ml of ropivacaine, whose dose was obtained on the weight
The local anesthetic was dosed on the patient's weight (50-59kg: 120mg, 60-61kg: 140mg, 70-79kg: 160mg, ≥80kg: 180mg)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NRS evaluation
Time Frame: 24h post-op

Evaluate pain for every volume group in the first 24 hours post surgery using the Numeric Pain Scale (NRS) assigning a numeric value between zero (no pain) and ten (the worst pain ever felt). Absence of relevant pain is considered a NRS less than three.

Success of the block was defined as NRS≤3.

24h post-op

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NRS variation in time
Time Frame: 24 h
consider variation of pain, assessed with numeric Pain scale, for each group, every six hours
24 h

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
presence of side effects
Time Frame: 24 hours
Monitoring the onset of side effects (nausea/vomiting/hypotension/dizziness/sensitive impareiment) in every group of patients in the first 24 hours every six hours
24 hours
analgesic requirements
Time Frame: 24 hours
requirement of analgesic to control the pain, assessed every six hours
24 hours
