Background and Objectives: Early postoperative mobilization is central for postoperative outcomes after lower extremity joint replacement surgery. By providing adequate pain control, regional anaesthesia plays an important role for postoperative mobilization. It was the objective of this study to investigate the use of the nociception level index (NOL) to determine the effect of regional anaesthesia in hip or knee arthroplasty patients undergoing general anaesthesia with additional peripheral nerve block.Materials and Methods: Patients received general anaesthesia, and continuous NOL monitoring was established before anaesthesia induction. Depending on the type of surgery, regional anaesthesia was performed with a Fascia Iliaca Block or an Adductor Canal Block.Results: For the final analysis, 35 patients remained, 18 with hip and 17 with knee arthroplasty. We found no significant difference in postoperative pain between hip or knee arthroplasty groups. NOL increase at the time of skin incision was the only parameter associated with postoperative pain measured using a numerical rating scale (NRS > 3) after 24 h in movement (−12.3 vs. +119%,p= 0.005). There was no association with intraoperative NOL values and postoperative opioid consumption, nor was there an association between secondary parameters (bispectral index, heart rate) and postoperative pain levels.Conclusions: Intraoperative NOL changes may indicate regional anaesthesia effectiveness and could be associated with postoperative pain levels. This remains to be confirmed in a larger study.
