    Abstract

    The aim of the study is to conclude, after interpretation of data found in this study, rescue analgesia requirement in PACU was found to be 47.5% in morphine group and only 10% in ACB group and antiemetic requirement in PACU was found to be 42.5% in morphine group and only 20% in ACB group. Also it was found that mean CBD time in morphine group was 25.50±10.12 and mean CBD time in ACB group was 14.00±6.72 which was found to be clinically and statistically significant (p value <0.001). Thus USG guided adductor canal block is a newer technique for post-operative analgesia after knee arthroscopy with promising results compared to intravenous analgesia for early functional recovery. However, more RCTs may be needed to confirm the efficacy of ACB. Result: The mean time based discharge (TBD) time was 60 minutes with no standard deviation and the mean criteria based discharge in morphine group was 25.50±10.12minutes and mean difference was found to be 34.50±10.12 minutes which was statistically significant. Also mean criteria based discharge in block group was 14.00±6.72 minutes and mean difference was found to be 46.00±6.72 minutes which was statistically significant.(P value <0.001). It was noted that rescue analgesia (inj tramadol 50mg) is required in 47.5% of patients in morphine group and in only 10% of patients in block group. Conclusion: To conclude, after interpretation of data found in this study, rescue analgesia requirement in PACU was found to be 47.5% in morphine group and only 10% in ACB group and antiemetic requirement in PACU was found to be 42.5% in morphine group and only 20% in ACB group. Also it was found that mean CBD time in morphine group was 25.50±10.12 and mean CBD time in ACB group was 14.00±6.72 which was found to be clinically and statistically significant (p value <0.001). Thus USG guided adductor canal block is a newer technique for post-operative analgesia after knee arthroscopy with promising results compared to intravenous analgesia for early functional recovery. However, more RCTs may be needed to confirm the efficacy of ACB.
