NCT01213602

Brief Summary

The principal objective is to notice the relevance of timing performance of femoral block for knee replacement surgery during general anesthesia and analyze the relationship with bilateral bispectral index (BIS) monitoring during induction and maintenance of anesthesia. Otherwise the investigators try to investigate if the timing of performance of this block influence in postoperative variables as pain or blood loss.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Sevoflurane requirements

    Combined ( femoral block and general anesthesia) or balanced anesthesia ( intravenous analgesics and general anesthesia) is evaluated on the requirements of inhalational hypnotics during surgery. Schedule time when BIS has to be in proper range (40-60): T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 T1 Induction T2 Inflated cuff ischemia T3 Incision T4 Unlocking cuff ischemia T5 End surgery T6 Time to wake the patient from the close of the sevoflurane vaporizer Each time include a period of adjustment in 5 minutes

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Intraoperative and postoperative opiates requirements and relations with CVI

    Time surgery and 24,48 and 72 h postoperative

Study Arms (2)

Femoral block preoperative

In one group (T1) with performance of femoral block before general anesthesia and administration of bolus of local anesthetic through stimulating catheter (combined anesthesia)

Femoral block postoperative

In second group (T2) with a administration of local anesthetic through stimulating femoral catheter until awareness of patient (balanced anesthesia).
