Clinical Impact of IPACK Block Addition to Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In our clinic, routine suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) has been administered for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing knee arthroplasty. Recently, we have introduced the IPACK (Infiltration between the Popliteal Artery and Capsule of the Knee) block to this regimen, and the aim of this retrospective study is to determine whether the addition of the IPACK block enhances the quality of analgesia.
Knee arthroplasty, also known as knee joint replacement surgery, is a common procedure performed to alleviate pain and improve joint function in patients with knee osteoarthritis or other knee-related conditions. Postoperative pain management is crucial for patient comfort and overall recovery.
In this study, we aimed to compare the two techniques mentioned earlier, namely the SIFIB (Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block) and the SIFIB+IPACK, by examining the data of patients who underwent knee arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia at our clinic between January 1, 2023, and September 1, 2023.

SIFIB Patients who underwent SIFIB in knee arthroplasty patients under spinal anesthesia will be evaluated retrospectively in terms of opioid consumption and NRS scores. |
Procedure: SIFIB (suprainguinal fascia iliaca block)
Ultrasound guided Suprainguinal Fascia Iliaca Block for Knee Arthroplasty Patients
Device: Patient controlled anagesia device
Those who were administered opioids with PCA as rescue analgesic in the postoperative analgesia plan on the selected dates will be included in the study.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Opioid consumption [24 hours]
Opioid consumption via PCA device
Secondary Outcome Measures
- NRS scores [24 hours]
NRS scores in different time frames. In a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), patients are asked to circle the number between 0 and 10, that fits best to their pain intensity. Zero usually represents 'no pain at all' whereas the upper limit represents 'the worst pain ever possible'.
