Tramadol as adjunct to psoas compartment block with levobupivacaine 0.5%: a randomized double-blinded study †

Abstract

We conclude that our data do not support a clinically important local anaesthetic or peripheral analgesic effect of tramadol as adjunct to PCB with levobupivacaine 0.5%.

Comparison of Tramadol and Dexamethasone as an adjuvant to Bupivacaine in Supraclavicular brachial plexus block: A Randomised Comparative Study In Patients undergoing Elective Upper limb surgeries

“…They concluded results similar to our study [18]. (2010) found that mean sensory block time in dexamethasone and bupivacaine group was 1457 min [4,22]. The present study showed a significant prolongation of sensory analgesia with addition of dexamethasone 0.15 mg/kg as compared to tramadol addition which result in less prolongation of analgesia.…”

“…Kapral S .et al (1999) added tramadol in total dose of 100 mg and S. Mannion et al (2004) used tramadol in dose of 1.5 mg/ kg as an adjunct [9,22].…”

Dose Addition of Tramadol to Levobupivacaine Femoral Nerve Block Prolong Its Analgesic Efficacy in Patients Undergoing Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction?

“…Previous study in patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasty showed that tramadol does not provide a clinically significant analgesic effect as an adjunct to 0.25% bupivacaine for continuous psoas compartment block [13]. It was reported that the use of systemic or perineural tramadol 1.5 mg /kg as adjunct to levobupivacaine psoas compartment block did not support a clinically important local anesthetic or peripheral analgesic effect [14].…”

“…Previous studies showed conflicting results about the efficacy of tramadol as adjuvant to local anesthetics some studies not prove it is efficiency [13][14][15] and others documented that it has a beneficial effect [16,17].…”

Influência da codeína, associada ou não ao anestésico local, na duração do bloqueio sensitivo, motor e proprioceptivo do nervo ciático de rato

“…Há indícios também que possa modificar a transmissão dos impulsos de dor inibindo a recaptação de monoamina (Raffa et al, 1993 . Já na adição a bupivacaína para o bloqueio do músculo psoas não teve relação com alterações na duração do tempo de anestesia ou decréscimo na necessidade de analgésico pós-operatório (Mannion et al, 2005).…”
