Background: Many adjuvants have been studied to improve the quality of analgesia and to prolong its duration. To date, there are no reports on the use of triamcinolone. Case: We present a brief report of 10 patients receiving a single shot ACB and IPACK blockade with a small dose of triamcinolone for Fast-Track Knee Replacement to prolong analgesia. Conclusion: We think this is a valuable opioid-sparing option, cheaper than new adjuvants, and safer than the use of continuous infusion. This technique should be evaluated in clinical trials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
