Brief Summary

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

A randomised controlled trial to assess the impact of femoral artery block on the incidence of tourniquet hypertension in patients receiving cruciate ligament surgery with \> 30 minutes of tourniquet under combined anaesthesia (balanced general anaesthesia and femoral nerve blocks).

Study Groups

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

Femoral artery block

An experienced Anesthesiologist will perform the femoral blocks, under ultrasound guidance with a linear probe and a 50mm (millimeters) or 80mm needle. No nerve stimulator will be used during the block. In both groups, femoral nerve block at the nerve sheath will be performed with 20mL (milliliters) 0.5% ropivacaine. In the interventional group, additionally to the previous block, the needle will be retracted and advanced to the antero-medial side of the femoral artery where 10mL 0.5% ropivacaine will be injected after negative aspiration.
