Continuous Femoral Block

Total knee replacement is a painful surgical procedure. The inadequate control of postoperative pain is associated with adverse outcomes in the short and long term. Continuous femoral block has been shown to be effective and efficient as part of multimodal analgesia. This series of 48 patients who underwent total knee replacement, who received multimodal analgesic treatment including continuous femoral nerve block, documents the pain control profile during the first 48 hours. This is a successful experience of implementing regional techniques as part of perioperative pain relief, as documented in the literature. We emphasize that each institution must know its technical and human resource and characterize its patients, in order to implement multimodal analgesia protocols that include this regional technique. We also suggest to monitor and implement continuous improvement processes.
