Pain Clinical Trial
Official title:
Ultrasound Guided Repositioning of a New Suture-method Catheter for Adductor Canal Block - a Randomized Study in Healthy Volunteers
This is a randomized clinical trial in healthy volunteers. 12 volunteers will have suture-method catheters placed in the adductor canal of each leg using the long-axis plane and short-axis plane technique. The investigators will inject LA in both catheters to confirm correct position. Following return of cold sensation the catheter is then displaced intentionally. The orifice is identified by injection of isotonic saline to ensure a proper displacement (spread outside of the adductor canal) and the distance from the delivery orifice of the catheter to the adductor canal is noted. A second investigator will assess distance from the LA delivery orifice of the catheter to the adductor canal using hydrodissection with isotonic saline to pinpoint the delivery orifice and subsequently reposition the catheter to obtain LA spread within the adductor canal. Successful repositioning is defined as a combination of LA spread within the adductor canal and loss of cold sensation on the medial part of the lower leg.
The study objective is to investigate whether it is possible to reposition a displaced
suture-method catheter using ultrasound.
A peripheral nerve catheter will be inserted on each side under US guidance. An investigator
will insert one catheter in the short-axis plane of the adductor canal using an in plane
technique: The needle is inserted through the vastus medialis into the adductor canal and
exits superficial to the femoral artery through the sartorius muscle.
The second catheter is inserted from proximal to distal direction in the long-axis plane
using a combination of in-plane and out-of-plane techniques.
10mL of isotonic saline is used for hydro-dissection for both catheter insertions to
facilitate placement. Both catheters are injected with 15 mL LA with an immediate assessment
of the spread being within or outside the adductor canal.
Loss of cold sensation in the cutaneous saphenous nerve innervation area will be evaluated 15
minutes after injection by another investigator, who is blinded to allocation and
randomization.
Following return of normal sensory function the catheter is then intentionally displaced at
least 2 cm outside the adductor canal in the direction of the entry or exit site according to
randomization. The distance from the LA delivery orifice of the catheter to the adductor
canal is noted. Adequate displacement requires that injection of isotonic saline does not
result in spread within the adductor canal.
A third investigator will assess distance from the LA delivery orifice of the catheter to the
adductor canal and subsequently reposition the catheter using saline to pinpoint location of
the delivery orifice. Once the catheter is repositioned LA is injected. The US scan during LA
injection is performed with a fourth investigator present to evaluate for satisfactory spread
within the adductor canal. The 2 investigators will not communicate regarding the assessment
of spread within the adductor canal.
Evaluation of cold sensation on the medial part of the lower leg is performed 15 minutes
after 15mL LA (lidocaine 10 mg/mL) injection by investigator 2. The catheters are then
removed and the study is completed.
Distance from catheter delivery orifices to the adductor canal is defined as following:
Distance from the LA delivery orifice to the fascia surrounding the adductor canal is noted
in the short axis group. The distance from the LA delivery orifice to the penetration of the
aponeurosis lying just below the sartorius muscle is noted in the long axis group. Both
represent anatomical reference points for the adductor canal.
Satisfactory spread within the adductor canal is defined as following:
The LA injection spreads deeper along the lateral side of the femoral artery, observed in the
two-dimensional plane while producing minimal displacement of the roof and the overlying
sartorius muscle.
The injection may spread occasionally superficially over the femoral artery within the canal
and will then force the artery deeper. If the injection spreads more medially and
superficially over the saphenous nerve and femoral artery in an anterolateral to
posteromedial direction, initially resembling the injections within the adductor canal but
separates the sartorius muscle from the femoral artery by lifting the sartorius muscle
medially off the hyperechoic roof of the adductor canal it is considered not to spread within
the adductor canal.13
Successful primary placement and subsequent repositioning is defined as the combination of
satisfactory spread within the adductor canal (assessed using SAX visualization of the
adductor canal for both catheters) and loss of cold sensation.
