An interventional study of LFCNB and FNB in -Postoperative Pain, sponsored by University Hospital, Antwerp. Status unknown at 1 site in Belgium. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 80 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-07-02.
Sponsored by University Hospital, Antwerp · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Evaluation of the combination of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve "single shot" and femoral nerve "single shot" block as effective and safe alternative postoperative analgesic technique after hip replacement surgery.
Clinical evaluation via a prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial, whether ultrasound-guided single femoral block and lateral femoral cutaneous nerve blocks with 20 en 10 cc bupivacaine 0.25% respectively vs. the only ultrasound-guided single femoral block with 20 cc bupivacaine 0.25%, given just prior to elective hip surgery procedure, is effective in reducing acute postoperative pain (VAS scores) and postoperative opiate consumption.

Exclusion Criteria:

Use of opioids
The primary outcome measure will be a consumption of opioids through the Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia pump. Those amounts will be measured en documented at the fixed intervals during the first 48 hours post-procedure.
Time frame: 48 hours
Visual analog scale (VAS) scores (0-10)
The secondary outcome measure will be pain scores (VAS 0-10). Those scores will be measured en documented at the fixed intervals during the first 48 hours post-procedure.
Time frame: 48 hours
