Brief Summary:
Research study to determine if pain relief following foot andor ankle surgery is influenced by the technique used to place perineural catheter The catheters are placed using ultrasound-guidance or nerve stimulation and the method is selected at random using a computer program This may help to determine if one of these methods is associated with an increased success rate and incidence of foot numbness during the infusion
Detailed Description:
Specific Aim 1 To determine the relationship between perineural catheter placement technique ultrasound-guidance and electrical stimulation and quality of postoperative analgesia during continuous popliteal-sciatic nerve blocks following moderate-to-severely painful orthopedic surgery
Hypothesis 1 When inserting a perineural catheter for a continuous peripheral nerve block the use of electrical stimulation as compared with ultrasound-guidance is associated with decreased pain the morning following moderate-to-severely painful orthopedic surgery as measured with a numeric rating scale
Specific Aim 2 To determine the relationship between perineural catheter placement technique ultrasound-guidance and electrical stimulation and degree of sensory deficit during continuous popliteal-sciatic nerve blocks following moderate-to-severely painful orthopedic surgery
Hypothesis 2 When inserting a perineural catheter for a continuous peripheral nerve block the use of electrical stimulation as compared with ultrasound-guidance is associated with increased sensory deficit the day following moderate-to-severely painful orthopedic surgery as measured with a simple 0-10 scale 0no numbness 10completely insensate of the part of the foot with the greatest sensory deficit at the time of the data-collection phone call
