Patients given 4 days of perineural ropivacaine attained
the 3 discharge criteria in a median (25th-75th
centiles) of 25 ( 21-47)h compared with 71 (46-89)h in
the selected center. Decrease in time until discharge
readiness of 46h

Patients given 4 days of perineural ropivacaine attained the
3 discharge criteria in a median (25th-75th centiles) of 47 (
29-69)h compared with 62 (45-79)h in that multicentric
trial. Decrease in time until discharge readiness of 15h
• « Although more technically demanding, the inplane placement of a continuous femoral nerve
catheter resulted in fewer failed catheters for postoperative analgesia following total knee
arthroplasty.
• The posterior location of the catheter relative to
the femoral nerve may result in a higher success
rate of catheter function. »
From Tou K, Abstract A168, ASRA 2010 et Nader A, J Ultrasound Med 2009
Can we optimize the technique?
« In CFNB under ultrasound guidance, using the catheter perpendicular to the nerve technique
can shorten the time of catheter insertion while providing a similar quality of analgesia after
total knee arthroplasty as compared with the catheter parallel to the nerve technique. »
Average pain scores the day after surgery
for subjects of the 0- to 1-cm group were
a median of 2.5 (interquartile range, 0.05.0), compared with 2.0 (interquartile
range, 0.0-4.0) for subjects of the 5- to 6cm group (P = 0.42). Worst pain scores
during the same period for subjects of the
0- to 1-cm group was
a median of 6.0 (interquartile range, 3.09.0), compared with 7.0 (interquartile
range, 3.0-8.0) for subjects of the 5- to 6cm group (P = 0.37).

The Effects of Varying Local Anesthetic Concentration and Volume on Continuous Popliteal
Sciatic Nerve Blocks: A Dual-Center, Randomized, Controlled Study
Brian M. Ilfeld et al Anesth Analg. 2008 ; 107(2): 701–707
Either 0.2% (basal 8 mL/h, bolus 4 mL) or 0.4% (basal 4 mL/h, bolus 2
mL)
•
Insensate limbs were far more common with larger
volumes of relatively dilute ropivacaine.
•
During continuous sciatic nerve block in the popliteal
fossa,a relatively concentrated solution in smaller
volume thus appears preferable.
Effects of Local Anesthetic Concentration and Dose on Continuous Interscalene Nerve
Blocks: A Dual-Center, Randomized, Observer-Masked, Controlled Study
Linda T. Le et al Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2008 ; 33(6): 518–525
Either 0.2% ropivacaine (basal 8 mL/h, bolus 4 mL) or 0.4% ropivacaine (basal 4 mL/h, bolus 2 mL)
Pain (p=0.020) and dissatisfaction (p=0.011) were
greater in patients given 0.4% ropivacaine
Ropivacaine 0.1% (basal 12 ml/h; bolus 4 ml) or 0.4% (basal3 ml/h; bolus 1 ml)
Each subject’s dominant side was randomized to
either one of the two ropivacaine 0.1%
treatments—a continuous 5 ml/h basal infusion for
6 h or 6 hourly 5-ml bolus doses—and the
nondominant side received the opposite treatment.
The current point of view on pumps: Elastomeric vs Electronic
• No variation with
temperature and pump
position
• More difficult for the
patients
• Batteries
• Variations with T°
and position
• Variation of  15%
• Very well accepted
by the patients

Postoperative Analgesia After Knee Surgery: A Comparison of Three Different
Concentrations of Ropivacaine for Continuous Femoral Nerve Blockade
Brodner G. et al, Anesth Analg 2007
 Ropivacaine 0.1% provided ineffective
analgesia
 Ropivacaine 0.2% and 0.3% were similar in
terms of analgesic quality.
“Initial infusion rates should be adjusted to 15
ml/h!!!!!! to obtain effective analgesia”
Falls Associated with Lower-Extremity–Nerve Blocks: A Pilot Investigation of
Mechanisms
Muraskin S.I. et al, Reg Anesth Pain Med 2007
“ Lower-extremity–nerve blocks result in decreased leg stiffness and lateral
instability, which may lead to difficulty with pivoting maneuvers”
We implemented a policy that all patients who receive LE PNB are evaluated by a
physical therapist prior to discharge. Physical therapists review their home living
environment (stairs, bathroom access, and family assistance), preoperative functional
capacity, cognitif status and a sit-to-stand test along with their ability to ambulate. If
evaluation reveals high fall risk or inadequate home care, the patient will be admitted
for overnight stay.

• Continuous peripheral nerve blocks may be provided in the hospital setting, but the use of
lightweight, portable pumps permits ambulatory infusion as well.
• This technique’s most common application is providing analgesia after surgical procedures.
• Catheter insertion may be accomplished using including nerve stimulation or ultrasound
guidance
• Administered infusate generally includes exclusively long-acting, dilute, local anesthetic
delivered as a bolus only, basal only, or basal-bolus combination.
•
Documented benefits appear to be dependent on successfully improving analgesia, and
include decreasing baseline/breakthrough/dynamic pain, supplemental analgesic
requirements, opioid-related side effects, and sleep disturbances, patient satisfaction and
ambulation and the time until discharge
• Lastly, postoperative joint inflammation and inflammatory markers may be decreased.
