Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
H group
H group stands for High concentration group. A single bolous of 20 ml ropivacaine 0.2% in ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) before the TKA surgery, followed by continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) using ropivacaine 0.2% (5 ml/h) for postoperative analgesia which started right after surgery. After surgery, all patients received multimodal analgesia of 200mg celecoxib every 12 hours. All subjects received anothother intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump (IV-PCA pump), which included 50 mg morphine in 50 ml saline: bolus 2 mg; lock out time, 15 minutes.
ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block
ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block, a single bolous of 20 ml ropivacaine (concentration 0.2% for H group or 0.1% for L group) before surgery followed by continuous femoral nerve block using an infusion rate of ropivacaine 0.2% 5 ml/h for postoperative analgesia started right after surgery
intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump with morphine
All subjects received intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) pumps to measure additional morphine consumption, which included 50 mg morphine in 50 ml saline: bolus 2 mg; lock out time, 15 minutes.
Continuous femoral nerve block
All the continuous femoral nerve block infusion regimes in the pump were connected to CFNB catheter, which contained only ropivacaine with different concentrations (ropivacaine 0.1% for L group and LD group; ropivacaine 0.2% for H group, 5 ml/h).
L group
L group stands for low concentration group. A single bolous of 20 ml ropivacaine 0.1% in ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) before the TKA surgery, followed by continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) using ropivacaine 0.1% (5 ml/h) for postoperative analgesia which started right after surgery. All subjects received anothother intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump (IV-PCA pump), which included 50 mg morphine in 50 ml saline: bolus 2 mg; lock out time, 15 minutes.

LD group
LD group stands for low concentration group with dexmedetomidine. A single bolous of 20 ml ropivacaine 0.1% plus 2 μg/kg dexmedetomidine in ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) before the TKA surgery, followed by continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) using ropivacaine 0.1% (5 ml/h) for postoperative analgesia which started right after surgery. All subjects received anothother intravenous patient-controlled analgesia pump (IV-PCA pump), which included 50 mg morphine in 50 ml saline: bolus 2 mg; lock out time, 15 minutes.
Dexmedetomidine
Dexmedetomidine added to lower concentration of ropivacaine for postoperative analgesia in FNB
