Table 4. Comparison of VAS and duration of analgesia.
Traditional ISB (30 mL) (n=140) | ISB (5 mL) + STB (20 mL) (n=78) | ISB (10 mL) + STB (20 mL) (n=67) | Probability | ||||||||
Mean±SD | Median | Min-Max | Mean±SD | Median | Min-Max | Mean±SD | Median | Min-Max | χ2 | p | |
VAS | 2 | 0.0-4.0 | 3 | 0.0-4.0 | 1 | 0.0-3.0 | 1.942 | 0.379 | |||
Duration of analgesia | 14.5±3.0 | 14.1±3.3 | 13.9±3.0 | 2.922 | 0.232 | ||||||
SD: Standard deviation; VAS: Visual Analog Scale; Kruskal-Wallis H test (χ2-tabular value) was used to compare groups. |
