Figure 3

Estimated effect sizes for sciatic nerve block duration are shown relative to the Lipo-Bup + Lipo-DMED + Lipo-DexP treatment group (n = 10) and shown by blue circles for each comparison. The precision of the effects are represented by 95% confidence intervals (CI) based on one-factor fixed effects ANOVA with Dunnett comparisons. The average increased block duration was 10.7 hours (95% CI: 4.6–16.8 h; P < 0.001) compared to Lipo-Bup (n = 4), 7.5 hours (95% CI: 2.0–13.2 h, P = 0.006) compared to Lipo-Bup + Lipo-DMED (n = 5), and 6.3 hours (95% CI: 1.6–11.2 h, P = 0.008) compared to Lipo-Bup + Lipo-DexP (n = 8). Block duration was decreased on average by 8.8 hours (95% CI: 2.7–14.9 h, P = 0.003) as compared with Lipo-Bup + Free DMED + Free DexP (n = 4). Asterisks denote significant differences in effects compared to Lipo-Bup + Lipo-DMED + Lipo-DexP.
