Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous infiltration of Lidocaine in joint replacement surgery.Methods From May 2013 to October 2013,patients scheduled to undergo total hip or total knee arthroplasty were randomized into two groups:the local infiltration analgesia group received continuous infiltration of Lidocaine while the other group received PCIA filled with fentanyl after surgery.The equipments were removed 48 hours after the surgery.The visual analogue scale score at five points (immediate postoperative,24 hours after the surgery while resting,24 hours after the surgery while exercising,48 hours after the surgery while resting,48 hours after the surgery while exercising) were recorded and if the score was higher than 4,analgesics wound be given to the patients.The vital sign,blood test,ECG,the circumference of lower limbs,the range of motion of the joint,the rehabilitation and complications were also recorded.Results 42 patients were included,11 male and 31 female.There were 25 patients and 36 total knee arthroplasties.17 patients underwent a total of 19 hip arthroplasties.The demographic data,the diagnosis and the surgery type were comparable between two groups.The VAS scores at immediate postoperative,24 hours and 48 hours after the surgery while resting,the average dose of analgesics and the complication rate were statistically different be tween two groups.However,the VAS scores at 24 hours after the surgery and 48 hours after the surgery while exercising,the change of the circumferences of the lower limb,the range of motion of the joint,the rehabilitation satisfactory rate and length of stay were comparable between two groups,while no significant difference was observed.One patient in the PCIA group suffered from incision fat liquefaction and healed after three weeks.There were no infection and subcutaneous hydrocele in both groups.Conclusion Continuous infiltration of Lidocaine is more effective than the PCIA while resting after joint replacement surgery and no inferior to it while exercising.It can decrease the amount of Opioid.
