Abstract

BACKGROUND: Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a common surgical procedure for advanced osteoarthritis. Pain management in patients undergoing TKA is the critical component for better recovery and early ambulation. Peripheral nerve blocks is a better alternative to systemic analgesics in relieving pain after TKA. The aim of the study was to compare the VAS score and rescue analgesia requirement in ACB+IPACK group compared to ACB alone in patients undergoing the total knee arthroplasty. METHOD: This observational study is conducted in Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, Mangalore who are in the age group from 40 to 80 years admitted for elective total knee replacement surgery during the period of October 2020 to December 2020 after approval from the ethical committee and written informed consent from participants. The patients were selected by closed envelope method into two groups; as group 1 patients received ACB+IPACK and group 2 received ACB only. Pain assessment was done by a 10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS); 0: no pain; 10: worst imaginable pain. Patient were reassessed for pain and any side effects like nausea, vomiting, gastric irritation and respiratory depression at 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours or till the need of rescue analgesia. RESULT: The mean age of the patients in the study group was 58.7 years. The VAS score atrest after 8^th hr, 12^th hr and 24^th hr showed a significantly lower score in ACB+IPACK group compared to the ACB group. However, there was no significant pain noted in two groups to provide the rescueanalgesics. CONCLUSION: ACB+IPACK is safer and efficient than ACB alone for postoperative pain management in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
