Ankle block
Any participant receiving an ankle block (local infiltration analgesia).
|
Procedure: Ankle block
Injection of local anaesthetics at the level of the ankle blindly (local infiltration analgesia). The dose, volume, and type of local anaesthetic will be registered.
Other Name: Local infiltration analgesia |
- Duration of analgesia, measured as time to first pain [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Duration of analgesia measured as time to first pain as reported by the patient. The duration of analgesia is expected to be less than 24 hours. If the duration of analgesia exceeds 24 hours, follow-up will be performed until return of normal sensation is ensured. Duration of analgesia will be set to 24 hours for participants having a duration of analgesia exceeding 24 hours.
- Pain in the post-anaesthesia care unit, measured on the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Pain in the post-anaesthesia care unit as reported by the patient on the NRS (0 to 10 points, 0 no pain, 10 worst perceiveable pain). The assessment will be performed just prior to discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit.
- Participants with failed block [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Failed block will be defined as participants experiencing pain (NRS > 0) prior to discharge from the post-anaesthesia care unit.
- Pain at 6 hours postoperatively, measured on the NRS [ Time Frame: 6 hours ]Pain at 6 hours postoperatively measured on the NRS as reported by the participant.
- Pain at 24 hours postoperatively, measured on the NRS [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Pain at 24 hours postoperatively measured on the NRS as reported by the participant.
- Cumulative opioid consumption at 24 hours postoperatively [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Cumulative opioid consumption at 24 hours postoperatively. Opioid consumption will be converted to intravenous morphine equivalents. Intraoperative opioid use will not be included.
- Participant satisfaction related to ankle block [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Participants will be asked if they wanted a longer block duration, if they wanted a shorter block duration, and if block duration was adequate (binary outcomes, yes/no).
- Unplanned admission [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Most participants will be discharged directly from the post-anaesthesia care unit and some will have planned hospital admission following surgery. Unplanned admission will be defined as an admission that was not planned in advance. The reason for admission will be recorded.
- Postoperative nausea and vomiting [ Time Frame: 24 hours ]Incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.
