Official title

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of iPACK (Local Anesthetic Infiltration of the Interspace Between the Popliteal Artery and the Posterior Knee Capsule) and Adductor Canal Blocks on Quality of Recovery in Patients Undergoing Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Overview

Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in orthopedic surgery. More than 50% of patients experience moderate to severe pain after the operation. Inadequate postoperative pain control and poor recovery quality can negatively impact physiotherapy protocols, prolong hospital stays, and consequently lead to cognitive dysfunction, systemic infections, and increased healthcare costs. Therefore, reducing postoperative pain and improving recovery quality are of great importance. In our clinic, a variety of analgesic techniques are routinely employed as part of a multimodal analgesia approach for patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. One of these techniques is the simultaneous application of the IPACK block and the adductor canal block. In this study, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of these blocks on postoperative recovery quality in patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

Interventions

  • Procedure IPACK and adductor canal block with Bupivacaine 0.25%
    iPACK block is infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and the Capsule of the Knee. iPACK and adductor canal blocks are performed with ultrasound guidence under sterile conditions.
  • Procedure Spinal Anesthesia with Bupivacaine
    Spinal Anesthesia is a basic anesthesia method used for years to grant anesthesia for surgeries for lower extremities and lower torso surgeries.

Primary outcome measures

  • Quality of Recovery [Time frame: 24 hours.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
  • Analgesic Consumption [Time frame: 24 hours.]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

  • Coagulopathy
  • ASA IV-V patients
  • Uncooperable patients
  • Patients who refuses to participate in study
  • Patients who takes chronic pain treatments
