Management
A long acting of
continuous anesthetic can be administered to decrease the pain post
operatively. The anesthetic technique, distribution of block, and the
procedure that are most frequently administered are as follows:
Interscalene
Block: Local
anesthetic is placed in the neck area. Duration of block is between
14-20 hours. Used for shoulder procedures such as rotator cuff, bankart
repair, etc.
Femoral Nerve Block: Local anesthetic is placed
in the groin area, next to the femoral artery. Duration of the block is
between 14-20 hours. Used for knee procedures such as a total joint and
ACL repair.
Epidural Nerve Block: A catheter is placed in
the epidural space so a continuous anesthetic can be administered for
1-5 days. This can sometimes be used as the anesthetic technique. Used
for procedures from the chest to the ankle.
Spinal Anesthetic: A long acting narcotic can
be placed at the same time a spinal is administered for the anesthetic
if desired. Duration of pain relief is between 18-24 hours. Used for
procedures from the upper abdomen to the ankle.
