Interest of a Bi-truncal Nerve Block (Femoral + Sciatic) Extended, Systematically Associated With General Anesthesia, in the Femoropopliteal Bypass: Study of Post-operative Analgesia and Peripheral Circulation Downstream
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
The aim of this study is to assess, in patients scheduled for femoropopliteal bypass, the benefit of a double peripheral nerve block (femoral + sciatic) with levobupivacaine and clonidine in a single dose, performed before induction of general anaesthesia, on analgesia postoperatively assessed by morphine consumption. Applied to the patient at the beginning of general anesthesia, this technique could allow one hand, to reduce the need for opiates, on the other hand - due to anesthetized limb vasodilation - to improve tissue perfusion downstream.
