Condition: Tourniquet Hypertension · Sponsor: National and Kapodistrian University of Athens
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind controlled trial evaluating an ultrasound-guided femoral artery block (FAB) using a long-axis in-plane approach compared with a short-axis approach and a control group. The study will include adult patients (ASA I-III) undergoing below-the-knee fracture surgery with tourniquet application. All patients will receive standardized anesthesia including sciatic nerve block and total intravenous anesthesia. Participants will be randomized into three groups: short-axis FAB, long-axis FAB, or control (saline injection). The primary aim is to assess the effectiveness of the long-axis FAB in reducing tourniquet-induced hypertension. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic stability, analgesic requirements, pain scores, block characteristics, and procedural performance metrics.
