Journal Of International Medical Research, 30(2), 161-167.0300-0605https://doi.org/10.1177/147323000203000208https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/147323000203000208http://hdl.handle.net/11452/21317The extent of inguinal paravascular blockade and psoas compartment blockade with sciatic nerve block was evaluated in 60 patients. Volumes of 30 ml and 20 ml 0.35% bupivacaine with 1/200000 epinephrine were injected for lumbar plexus and sciatic nerve block, respectively. Complete lumbar plexus blockade was achieved in 73% of the group who were treated with the psoas compartment technique and 43% of the group who were treated with the inguinal paravascular technique. Sensory blockade of the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves was obtained in 100%, 97% and 77% of the patients in the psoas compartment group, and 93%, 63% and 47% of the patients in the inguinal paravascular group, respectively. Sensory blockade of the lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves was more rapid with psoas compartment block. The study suggests that the psoas compartment block is effective in blocking the femoral, lateral femoral cutaneous and obturator nerves, but the inguinal paravascular block is only effective in blocking the femoral nerve.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRegional anaesthetic techniquesResearch & experimental medicinePharmacology & pharmacyLumbar plexus blockInguinal paravascular blockadePsoas compartment blockadeLower extremityLumbar plexus block1 BlockChildrenAnesthesia, conductionAnesthetics, localInguinal canalLower extremityLumbosacral plexusNerve blockPeripheral nervesPsoas musclesSciatic nerveArticle0001754039000082-s2.0-003601281816116730212025523Medicine, research & experimentalPharmacology & pharmacyFemoral nerveKnee replacement arthroplastiesBupivacaineAdrenalinBupivacaineLocal anesthetic agentAnesthesiological techniquesDose responseFemoral nerveNerve blockObturator nervePsoas muscleSciatic nerveSkin nerveInguinal canalInnervationLegLumbosacral plexusPeripheral nerveRegional anesthesia
