Patients undergoing operative treatment of tibial shaft fractures have considerable pain largely managed with opioids. Regional anesthesia (RA) has been increasingly used to reduce perioperative opioid use.
This was a retrospective study of 426 patients that underwent operative treatment of tibial shaft fractures with and without RA. Inpatient opioid consumption and 90-day outpatient opioid demand were measured.
RA significantly decreased inpatient opioid consumption for 48 h post-operatively (p = 0.008). Neither inpatient use after 48 h nor outpatient opioid demand differed in patients with RA (p > 0.05).
RA may help with inpatient pain control and reduce opioid use in tibial shaft fracture.
Level III, retrospective, therapeutic cohort study.
接受胫骨骨干骨折手术治疗的患者存在大量疼痛,主要采用阿片类药物进行管理。区域麻醉(RA)已被越来越多地用于减少围手术期阿片类药物的使用。
这是一项回顾性研究,纳入了 426 例接受胫骨骨干骨折手术治疗的患者,分为使用和不使用 RA 的两组。测量了住院期间阿片类药物的消耗和 90 天门诊阿片类药物的需求。
RA 显著降低了术后 48 小时内的住院期间阿片类药物消耗(p=0.008)。但 RA 组患者在 48 小时后住院期间的使用或门诊阿片类药物需求并无差异(p>0.05)。
RA 可能有助于控制胫骨骨干骨折患者的住院期间疼痛,并减少阿片类药物的使用。
