Brief Summary:
In loco regional anesthesia, much more than for general anesthesia, the choice of the product is largely left at the discretion of the practitioner. Two categories of local anesthetics are distinguished according to their pharmacodynamic characteristics: products with a short time of installation and a short duration period, and products with a longer delay of installation of the sensitive and motor block, but with a long-term duration. Indeed, the combined use of two products pharmacodynamically different seems to be of a practical interest.
This study provides a comparison of the onset of action of 30 ml of ropivacaine 0.75% and 30ml of a mixture of ropivacaïne 0.75% associated with mepivacaïne 1.5% for the subgluteal sciatic nerve block. This is a prospective randomized double-blind study where the main criterion of judgment is the time of installation of a sensitive block compatible with surgery in the sciatic territory nerve. Fifteen patients per group were calculated to detect a 50% decrease of the onset of action in the combination group with a power of 90% and alpha to 5%, according to a previous pilot study. The secondary endpoints are the intensity and time of installation of the motor block, the duration of sensitive and motor block, the total dose of morphine administered within 48 hours, as well as its possible side effects.
