Experience with intraoperative infiltration anesthesia during knee replacement

Abstract

Intraoperative local infiltration anesthesia significantly reduces the need for opioid anesthesia in the postoperative period, accelerates early activation and rehabilitation due to adequate analgesia, and reduces postoperative blood loss due to vascular spasm in the wound during total knee replacement. Due to the quick adaptation of patients to the joint implant, it is possible to reduce the time spent by patients in hospitals, as well as reduce the cost of treatment.
