Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A revised ultrasound-guided approach to the lumbar plexus is investigated as for efficacy and safety in elderly trauma patients undergoing operations of the lower extremeties.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A modified ultrasound-guided Shamrock approach combined to nerve stimulation of the lumbar plexus is going to be investigated, in elderly trauma patients undergoing procedures of the lower extremities. The technique is going to be assessed as for its safety and its accuracy in localization of the plexus, by multiple measurements of the imaging time and needling time, In addition, efficacy and complications will be recorded and assessed during the immediate postoperative period.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Modified Shamrock approach

Patients undergoing orthopedic procedures of the lower extremeties are going to be studied. A modified Shamrock approach of the lumbar plexus is going to be used for postoperative analgesia, using an ultrasound-guided technique combined to a nerve stimulatior. The technique is going to be assessed as for accuracy, and safety.

Group Type OTHER

lumbar plexus block
