Overview

Effect of PENG block on NLR and PLR following hip arthroplasty

Description

The NLR is a sensitive indicator of inflammation confirmed in numerous studies and has a predictive and prognostic value. NLR is a cheap, simple, fast-acting, readily available stress and inflammation parameter with high sensitivity and low specificity. Dynamic changes in the NLR precede the clinical state by several hours and may alert clinicians to the ongoing pathological process early. NLR is a new promising marker of cellular immune activation, an important indicator of stress and systemic inflammation. It opens a new dimension for clinical medicine, enabling a better understanding of the biology of inflammation, the linkage and antagonism between innate and adaptive immunity, and their clinical consequences for health and disease.

NLR is affected not only by surgical trauma but also by the method of anesthesia. In recent years, the influence of regional anesthesiology on reducing the inflammatory response after surgical procedures has been emphasized. However, there have been very few studies evaluating the effect of various methods of anesthesia on the NLR.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
