Diabetic FootDiabetic Neuropathies

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Maintain the concentration of ropivacaine as same as those used in the previous participantDecrease the ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participantIncrease the ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participant

Maintain the concentration of ropivacaine as same as those used in the previous participant: Maintain the same concentration of ropivacaine used in the previous participant with an 89% chance through a random assignment

Decrease the ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participant: Decrease ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participant with an 11% chance through a random assignment

Increase the ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participant: Increase ropivacaine concentration by 0.05% from the concentration used in the previous participant.

Study summary

The purpose of this study was to determine the minimum effective dose of a local anesthetic for proper anesthesia for popliteal sciatic nerve block under ultrasound guidance in patients undergoing surgery for diabetic foot disease.

Inclusion Criteria: * Adult patients who can be operated under popliteal sciatic nerve block among patients undergoing surgery for diabetic foot disease Exclusion Criteria: 1. Infection of the popliteal region 2. Severe coagulation abnormality 3. Allergic reaction or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics 4.
