Category:OtherIntroduction/Purpose:Lower-extremity orthopaedic procedures may be performed under regional or general anaesthesia, or a combination of techniques. There is a growing body of evidence outlining benefits of regional anaesthesia, with meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials and registry data suggesting decreases in surgical site infections, thromboembolism, cardiopulmonary complications and length of stay associated with regional anaesthesia. In patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery specifically, the literature demonstrates decreased pain, nausea, vomiting, opioid use and unplanned hospital admission.This supports increased use of regional anaesthesia in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery. However, the type of anaesthetic used is dependent on surgeon, patient, anaesthesiologist and institutional factors. The purpose of this study is to investigate pre-operative factors that predict anaesthetic type in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery.Methods:Data was collected pros...
