Summary
This trial is a part of the project: 'A novel technique for reliable, precise and safe
postoperative pain management' (project no. 65-2014-3).
The purpose of the trial is to investigate the effects of changing peri-neural infusion rates
of ropivacaine 0.2% on the duration of nerve block.
Intervention:
Two intervention-days. Each day a peri-neural infusion of a fixed volume of ropivacaine 0.2%
is to be infused in one of five infusion rates, using a peri-neural catheter.
Intervention day 1: Focus on the common peroneal nerve. Intervention day 2: Focus on the
sciatic nerve.
