Блокада нервов нижней конечности: показания и преимущества

Abstract

An inadequate approach to the choice of anesthetic care during surgery and in the postoperative period leads to numerous complications, chronic pain, decreased quality of life, as well as to the formation of a negative patient attitude and dissatisfaction with anesthetic care. Currently, there is a constant search for optimal methods of anesthetic management, especially in high-risk patients. Objective. To summarize and present current information on lower limb nerve blockade. Materials and methods. During the research work, an analysis of dissertations on this topic for 2014–2023 was carried out, and Internet resources Elibrary, Cyberleninka, PubMed for the last 9 years were used, since there are not enough literary sources on this topic from 2018 to 2023. Results. An analysis of Russian and foreign literature for 2014–2023 was given, devoted to such a type of anesthetic management as lower limb nerve blockade. Indications, anatomical features, methods, complications in femoral, obturator and sciatic nerve blockades are described. Conclusion. Due to the use of ultrasound navigation, neuromuscular stimulation, catheter technologies, it has become possible to perform peripheral blockades with a minimal risk of complications, as well as to carry out extended peripheral blockades, which allows to speed up the postoperative recovery of patients. Due to the lack of influence of peripheral blockades on hemodynamics, a smaller number of severe complications inherent in central blockades, anesthesiologists increasingly prefer peripheral blockades when choosing a method of anesthetic support for operations on the lower extremities. This type of anesthesia is offered as an alternative to neuraxial blockades, especially in elderly patients with a high class of physical condition.
