BACKGROUND: This randomized, double-blinded volunteer study was designed to evaluate the ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve blocks using a step-up/step-down methodology.
METHODS: A maximum of 20 volunteers were included to receive an ultrasound-guided sciatic nerve block with mepivacaine 1.5% and a starting volume of 0.2 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. In cases of a complete sensory block, the volume was reduced by 0.02 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area until the first block failed. Thereafter, the volume of local anaesthetic was increased by 0.02 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. After three cycles of successful/failed blocks, the ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic could be calculated by a probability function. The influence of the volumes of local anaesthetics on sensory onset times and duration of sensory block was evaluated by linear regression.
RESULTS: The ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve block was calculated with 0.10 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area. The correlation between the volume of local anaesthetic and the sensory onset time was weak (r=0.14), whereas the correlation between the volume of local anaesthetic and the duration of sensory block was moderate (r=0.65).
CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study where an ED(99) volume of local anaesthetic for sciatic nerve block has been evaluated. The resulting local anaesthetic volume of 0.10 ml mm(-2) cross-sectional nerve area seems to have no impact on sensory onset time, whereas the duration of sensory block is shorter.
