This randomised controlled triple‐blinded trial tested the hypothesis that IPACK provides superior analgesia to selective tibial nerve block after total knee arthroplasty. Methods Patients having total knee arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia with a femoral triangle block were allocated randomly to receive either IPACK with 19 ml ropivacaine 0.2% or a selective tibial nerve block with 5 ml ropivacaine 0.75%. The postoperative analgesic strategy included paracetamol; ibuprofen; and intravenous morphine patient‐controlled analgesia. Primary outcome was cumulative intravenous morphine consumption on postoperative day 1. Secondary analgesic outcomes included pain scores at rest and during movement measured on postoperative days 1, 2 and 3. Functional outcomes were quadriceps strength; walking distance; and range of motion. Results In total, data from 90 patients were analysed (45 allocated to each group). Cumulative intravenous morphine consumption on postoperative day 1 was similar between the patients allocated to the IPACK and selective tibial nerve block groups (mean (SD) 6 (7) mg vs. 5 (6) mg, respectively; p = 0.36). Four patients (9%) who received selective tibial nerve block had motor block of the common peroneal nerve. No other differences were seen between groups in secondary outcomes. Discussion The IPACK and selective tibial nerve block provide similar analgesia after total knee arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia with a femoral triangle block.","PeriodicalId":7742,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesia","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149218761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These guidelines were developed by a Canadian group of clinicians, researchers, patient partners and representatives from provincial healthcare regulatory and funding bodies. Methods Reviews of published literature were undertaken for commonly performed spinal procedures for pain, and the evidence was synthesised qualitatively. Evidence‐based recommendations for each procedure were graded on a scale from A (strongest level) to D (not recommended), or as insufficient (I), using US Preventive Services Task Force criteria with the level of certainty rated as high, medium or low. All consensus recommendations required at least 75% agreement among the guideline panel. Good clinical practice statements were also developed. Results We provide 15 key recommendations. The guidelines provide clinical practice recommendations and good clinical practice statements for procedures targeting chronic pain originating from the cervical, lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints. Clinical indications, evidence for efficacy and suggested frequency for repeated procedures have also been proposed. Discussion These guidelines provide evidence‐based recommendations and good clinical practice statements for performing diagnostic and therapeutic spinal interventions for chronic pain.","PeriodicalId":7742,"journal":{"name":"Anaesthesia","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":10.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149218577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
