Abstract

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of single injection adductor canal block (SACB), continuous adductor canal block (CACB), and the concomitant use of transdermal buprenorphine after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Materials and Methods: A total of 125 patients who underwent TKA were divided into three groups and the clinical results were retrospecitively compared. Group I was comprised of patients with pain controlled by SACB (n=41). Group II consisted of patients with pain controlled by both SACB and transdermal buprenorphine (10 ㎍/h) (n=44). Group III contained patients with pain controlled by CACB (n=40). The visual analogue scale (VAS) was used as the pain control indicator and the patients were measured on a VAS for resting on the bed (VAS-Rest) at 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after surgery. The VAS while doing continuous passive motion (VAS-CPM) on the first and second postoperative day was also measured. In addition, the total amount of medications used (Butopahn, Tridol, and Ketorac) for the intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) was counted for 48 hours after surgery. As the indicator of the functional recovery outcome, the incidence of nausea and vomiting was observed for 48 hours after surgery. The maximum knee joint flexion range and maximum walking distance on the first and second postoperative day, and the total length of stay at the hospital were compared. Results: The VAS-Rest was similar in the three groups at 12 hours after surgery, but at 24 hours and 48 hours after surgery, group II and III a lower VAS-CPM and total amount of medications used for PCA than group I (p<0.05). The three groups showed a low incidence of nausea and vomiting, maximum knee joint flexion range, and similar walking distance and total length of stay at the hospital. Conclusion: The combination of SACB and transdermal buprenorphine has great pain control effect initially. On the other hand, it is not associated with catheter complications and it is convenient to use and safety toward the renal function. Therefore, the concomitant use of SACB and transdermal buprenorphine can be an effective pain control method after TKA.

목적: 슬관절 인공관절 전치환술(total knee arthroplasty, TKA) 시행 후 일회 주사 내전근관 차단술(single injection adductor canal block, SACB), 지속적 내전근관 차단술(continuous adductor canal block, CACB), 그리고 경피성 buprenorphine 병합 사용을 통한 임상결과를 비교하였다. 대상 및 방법: TKA 후 통증 조절을 시행한 125명의 환자들을 대상으로 SACB를 단독 시행한 I군(41명), SACB 및 경피성 buprenorphine 10 ㎍/h를 병합 사용한 II군(44명), CACB를 시행한 III군(40명)으로 분류하여 임상결과를 후향적으로 비교하였다. 통증 조절 지표로 visual analogue scale (VAS)을 사용하였으며, 술 후 12시간, 24시간, 48시간째 침상 안정 상태에서의 VAS (VAS-Rest)와 술 후 24시간 및 48시간째 continuous passive motion (CPM) 중 VAS (VAS-CPM), 그리고 술 후 48시간 동안 정맥주사 patient controlled analgesia (PCA)를 위한 약물(부토판, 트리돌, 케토락)의 사용량을 측정하였다. 기능 개선 지표로 술 후 48시간 동안 오심 및 구토 증상 횟수, 술 후 24시간 및 48시간째 최대 슬관절 굴곡 범위와 최대 자가 보행 거리, 그리고 총 재원 기간을 기록하여 비교하였다. 결과: VAS-Rest는 술 후 12시간째는 유의한 차이가 없었으나 술 후 24시간 및 48시간째와 VAS-CPM, PCA 총 사용량에서 II, III군이 I군보다 유의하게(p<0.05) 더 낮은 결과를 나타내었다. 그리고 오심 및 구토 증상 횟수, 최대 슬관절 굴곡 범위와 자가 보행 거리, 총 재원 기간은 세 군 간의 유의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 결론: SACB 및 경피성 buprenorphine 병합 사용은 초기 통증 조절에 우수한 결과를 보였으며, 카테터로 인한 문제가 없고, 사용의 편의성 및 신 기능에 대한 안전성이 있기 때문에 TKA 후 유용한 통증 조절 방법이 될 수 있다.
