Abstract
Abstract
Background
Hip arthroplasty is effective in treating hip diseases, such as osteoarthritis and hip fracture, but it often brings severe trauma and pain. In recent years, ultrasound-guided supra-inguinal fascia iliaca compartment block(S-FICB) has become a widely used nerve block method for analgesia in hip arthroplasty.
Methods
Fifty-three patients preparing for hip arthroplasty were prospectively enrolled. S-FICB was performed under ultrasound guidance, and inject 0.33% ropivacaine into the space. Using the biased-coin design (BCD) sequential allocation method. The initial volume of 0.33% ropivacaine was 30ml. In case of failure, the next patient received a higher volume (defined as the previous volume with an increment of 1.2 mL). If the previous patient had a successful block, the next patient was randomized to a lower volume (defined as the previous volume with a decrement of 1.2 mL), with a probability of b = 0.05, or the same volume, with a probability of 1 − b = 0.95. The study was stopped when 45 successful blocks were achieved.
Results
Forty-five patients (84.9%) were blocked successfully. The 95% effective volume (EV95) was 34.06ml (95%CI 33.35 ~ 36.28ml). There were 31 patients with non-fracture in this study. The quadriceps muscle strength decreased in only two patients. Moreover, they both received 34.8ml of ropivacaine for S-FICB. Twenty-two patients had hip fractures. There were 3 patients (14%) with failed blocks and 19 patients (86%) with successful blocks. However, all fracture patients experienced less pain after S-FICB.
Conclusion
EV95 of 0.33% ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided S-FICB was 34.06ml.
Trial registration
The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (registration number: ChiCTR2100052214, registration date: 2021 October 22).
