Objectif : Décrire une approche modifiée de l’anesthésie régionale intraveineuse (ARIV) pour l’arthroscopie du genou.

Éléments cliniques : Un homme de 52 ans devant subir une arthroscopie du genou a reçu une ARIV avec 40 mL de lidocaïne à 0,5 %. Après avoir réalisé l’ARIV de façon courante, un garrot supplémentaire a été appliqué sous le genou et gonflé après l’exsanguination. On a ensuite injecté l’anesthésique local vers le genou. L’opération n’a pas nécessité d’analgésique supplémentaire.

Conclusion : La technique a permis d’utiliser un petit volume d’anesthésique pour l’ARIV du membre inférieur, ce qui réduit le risque potentiel de toxicité à l’anesthésique local.
