Scientific title
Study objectivesPsoas compartment - sciatic nerve block, as an adjuvant locoregional anaesthetic technique, gives sufficient post operative pain reduction after total hip replacement, regardless which long acting local anaesthetic ([levo]bupivacaine or ropivacaine in equipotent dosages) is used.
Ethics approval(s)Ethics approval received from the local medical ethics committee
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPsoas compartment block, sciatic nerve block, total hip replacement
InterventionPsoas compartment - sciatic nerve block given with bupivacaine, levobupivacaine or ropivacaine.
Duration of the intervention: 10 minutes
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhaseNot Specified
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Bupivacaine, levobupivacaine, ropivacaine
