Clinical Trial – Comparison of Combined Sciatic(Winnie’s) Femoral Nerve Block, and Subarachnoid Block Anesthesia for Lower Limb Surgery
60 ASA grades- I, II or III patients, undergoing lower limb surgeries, will be randomly
allocated in 2 groups of 30 patients each. In group S- subarachnoid block with 0.5%
Bupivacaine (hyperbaric) 2.5ml will be given in lateral position and group B received femoral
3 in 1 block in supine position(with landmark technique) with 20 ml of 0.25% of Bupivacaine,
followed by Sciatic block in lateral position with 20 ml of 0.25% Bupivacaine. Onset and
duration of sensory and motor block, time of first analgesic requirement, VAS Scores at end
of block and surgery, hemodynamic effects, patients’ and surgeon’s satisfaction will be
evaluated.
