Study Description

Brief Summary

This study compares the long-axis and short-axis technique of continues adductor canal block for total knee replacement surgery. Half participants will receive long-axis catheterization, while the other half will receive short-axis catheterization.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

  • Procedure: ultrasound guided short axis placement of adductor canal catheter
  • Device: Philip CX 50 Ultrasound Scanner
  • Device: PAJUNK Contiplex S Catheter
  • Drug: Ropivocaine
  • Drug: rescue sulfentanil given postoperatively as PICA

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: short axis (SAX) placement of adductor canal catheters

Procedure: Ultrasound guided short axis (SAX) placement of adductor canal catheters Philip CX50 ultrasound scanner guided insertion of a PAJUNK Contiplex S catheter along the short axis of the middle part of adductor canal

Procedure: ultrasound guided short axis placement of adductor canal catheter
The long axis of the ultrasound probe is placed vertical to the long axis of the adductor canal while scanning, and the catheter is placed along the short axis of the canal using an in-plane approach

Device: Philip CX 50 Ultrasound Scanner
The linear (C5-12) probe of Philip CX 50 Ultrasound Scanner is used for scanning

Device: PAJUNK Contiplex S Catheter

Drug: Ropivocaine
0.2% ropivacaine 10ml is given as loading dose. Following that, 0.2% ropivacaine 5ml/h is given as maintenance dose.

Drug: rescue sulfentanil given postoperatively as PICA
bolus: 2mg, lock time: 10min, 1h limitation: 8mg

Experimental: long axis (LAX) placement of adductor canal catheters

Procedure: Ultrasound guided long axis (LAX) placement of adductor canal catheters Philip CX50 ultrasound scanner guided insertion of a catheter along the long axis of the middle part of adductor canal

Procedure: ultrasound guided long axis placement of adductor canal catheter
The long axis of the ultrasound probe is placed parallel to the long axis of the adductor canal while scanning, and the catheter is placed along the long axis of the canal using an in-plane approach

Device: Philip CX 50 Ultrasound Scanner
The linear (C5-12) probe of Philip CX 50 Ultrasound Scanner is used for scanning

Device: PAJUNK Contiplex S Catheter

Drug: Ropivocaine
0.2% ropivacaine 10ml is given as loading dose. Following that, 0.2% ropivacaine 5ml/h is given as maintenance dose.

Drug: rescue sulfentanil given postoperatively as PICA
bolus: 2mg, lock time: 10min, 1h limitation: 8mg

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. the strength of quadriceps femoris [within 48hours after surgery]

    strength of quadriceps femoris measured on a Lovett muscle strength rating-scale within 48 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. postoperative nausea and vomiting score [0-2, 2-4, 4-8, 8-24, 24-48 hours postoperative]

    Rating-scale 0-3 SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  2. ambulation time [within the 7 days after surgery]

    SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  3. quality of recovery [3days and 7days after surgery]

    use the self-assessment 11item QoR scale to assess the patient's recovery quality,SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  4. complications [within the 7 days after surgery]

    Record complications including catheter dislodgment, puncture point infection, leakage,falling down,et al.

  5. the strength of quadriceps femoris [0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperative]

    SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  6. Pain-score (VAS), patient at rest [0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperative]

    Pain-score measured on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) .SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  7. Pain-score (VAS), motion pain [0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperative]

    Pain-score measured on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) .SAX-group vs. LAX-group

  8. sulfentanil consumption [0,2,4,8,24,48 hours postoperative]

    record the amount(ml) of sulfentanil used
