Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Use After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Sponsor: Tomas Bata Hospital, Czech Republic

Summary

This prospective observational study evaluates postoperative pain intensity and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) under different anesthesia techniques. Patients receive either general anesthesia with peripheral nerve block, spinal anesthesia with peripheral nerve block, spinal anesthesia alone, or general anesthesia with an epidural catheter. Pain scores (NRS), analgesic use, adverse effects, patient satisfaction, and the need for therapeutic interventions are assessed during the first 48 hours after surgery. The study aims to identify differences in postoperative pain control and factors associated with hypotension and other complications.
