Psoas Compartment Block
After exposure anesthetic (Ropivacaine with NaCl) is introduced directly into the iliopsoas muscle, where it then spreads to the lumbar plexus (the nerves responsible for sensation around the surgical site). Ropivacaine with NaCl: 50 mL (40 mL of 0.2% Ropivicaine and 10 mL of 0.9% NaCl) are administered into the psoas compartment
Periarticular Local Anesthetic
An anesthetic "cocktail" of four drugs (ropivacaine, epinephrine, ketorolac tromethamine, morphine) is injected at five locations at the surgical site to the surrounding tissues. Epinephrine: 0.15 mg Epinephrine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail" Morphine: 4 mg Morphine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail" Ketorolac Tromethamine: 30 mg morphine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail" Ropivacaine: 30 mL 0.5% Ropivicaine are injected as part of the drug "cocktail"
