NCT03914235

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the tumescent anesthesia technique in the surgical management of hand tenosynovitis. For this, an open clinical trial was conducted, which included patients with hand tenosynovitis (carpal tunnel syndrome, trigger finger and Quervain syndrome), which were randomly assigned to a group. The control group was released pulleys and ligaments with local anesthetic technique and hemostasis with pneumatic tourniquet; While the study group was released from the pulleys and ligaments with tumescent anesthesia. The study variables were: anesthesia time, trans-surgical bleeding, pain, total procedure time and tissue reperfusion time.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Procedure pain: Visual Analog Scale

    Evaluated by Visual Analog Scale, A subjective psychometric response scale used to measure distinct behavioral or physiological phenomena based on linear numerical gradient, with values from 0 to 10. In the value 0 the absence or less intensity is located and in 10 the greater intensity of pain.

    immediate post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Bleeding

    immediate post surgery

  • Anesthesia application time

    at the beginning of the application of anesthesia

Study Arms (2)

Tumescent anesthesia

EXPERIMENTAL

A tumescent solution was prepared; consisting of 40 cc of 0.9% Saline Solution, 10 cc of 2% Lidocaine, 0.4 cc of Epinephrine (1: 1000) and 4 cc of 7.5% Sodium Bicarbonate. This solution was applied in the incision sites according to the diagnosis and the proposed procedure. In case of trigger finger, 3 cc was applied subcutaneously in the proximal palmar crease of the affected finger; for Quervain syndrome, 5 to 6 cc of tumescent solution was injected along the first extensor compartment at the radial styloid level; and in the case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, 10 cc of tumescent solution was infiltrated on the flexor retinaculum in the subcutaneous tissue and from 7 to 10 cc below it. Subsequently, 20 minutes were waited for the epinephrine to cause vasoconstriction, and the asepsis of the limb was continued , sterile fields were placed, the incision site was corroborated and the surgical procedure proposed for each pathology was started.

Local anesthesia with tourniquet.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Lidocaine 1% was applied to the incision sites according to the diagnosis and the proposed procedure. In case of trigger finger, 3 cc was applied subcutaneously in the proximal palmar crease of the affected finger; for Quervain syndrome, 5 to 6 cc were injected along the first extensor compartment at the radial styloid level; and in the case of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, 10 cc was infiltrated on the flexor retinaculum in the subcutaneous tissue and from 7 to 10 cc below it. Afterwards, a pneumatic tourniquet was placed at the level of the forearm at 250 mmHg after exsanguination with a bandage from Esmarch. The asepsis of the limb was continued, sterile fields were placed, the incision site was corroborated and the surgical procedure proposed for each pathology was started. At the end of the surgical procedure, it was closed by planes, a soft bandage was placed, the tourniquet was removed and the patient was taken to recovery.
