Influence of Intraoperative Nociception during Hip or Knee Arthroplasty with Supplementary Regional Anaesthesia on Postoperative Pain and Opioid Consumption.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: Early postoperative mobilization is central for postoperative outcomes after lower extremity joint replacement surgery. By providing adequate pain control, regional anaesthesia plays an important role for postoperative mobilization. It was the objective of this study to investigate the use of the nociception level index (NOL) to determine the effect of regional anaesthesia in hip or knee arthroplasty patients undergoing general anaesthesia with additional peripheral nerve block. Materials and Methods: Patients received general anaesthesia, and continuous NOL monitoring was established before anaesthesia induction. Depending on the type of surgery, regional anaesthesia was performed with a Fascia Iliaca Block or an Adductor Canal Block. Results
