Effect of Patient-controlled Perineural Analgesia on Rehabilitation and Pain after Ambulatory Orthopedic Surgery

Abstract: After ambulatory orthopedic surgery, 0.2% ropivacaine delivered as a perineural infusion using a disposable elastomeric pump with patient-controlled anesthesia bolus doses optimizes functional recovery and pain relief while decreasing the consumption of rescue analgesics and ropivacaine, and the number of adverse events.

“…Although continuous or basal-bolus infusion is recommended in clinical practice, a bolus repeated every eight hours is better adapted to our experimentation on rats. 19,20 Bupivacaine-induced myotoxicity is time-dependent for muscle fibres close to the nerve catheter and is concentration-dependent on mitochondria in vitro. 4,21 This finding suggests the need for clarifying analgesia protocols with optimal duration of protocol and probably optimal concentration of local anesthetic, as investigated for ropivacaine.…”

“…Catheter patency or secondary catheter block has been identified in many studies as a major mode of failure of CPNB with rates ranging from 10%-20% [59][60][61] 63 , fluid leakage at the catheter site 59 and dislodgement or obstruction of the tubing 64 . Incorrect catheter placement 65 , despite the significant increase in placement accuracy with the use of ultrasound guidance, also still remains an issue.…”

“…These advantages can explain the increasing interest in these techniques for ambulatory procedures. [9][10][11] Several potential inherent risks have been described, including infection, nerve injury, catheter migration, local anesthetic toxicity, catheter retention, and pressure ulcers due to insensate extremities. 12 The most feared complications of continuous regional analgesia of the lower extremities at home, however, are the effects of stumbling.…”
