Abstract

Intravenous Patient Controlled Analgesia (IV PCA0 after general or spinal anesthesia may be a method of postoperative pain control, but side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and sedation occurs in most patients. The following research is based on the ultrasound guided femorosciatic nerve block held on parts below the knee joint operation. Because this anesthesia is held locally on the sciatic nerve with continuous anesthesia performed through perineural catheterization, the complications of nausea, vomiting, and sedation may be reduced while postoperative pain caused by the sciatic nerve is controlled. The following report is held on this experience.
