About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block

The investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block with bupivacaine on both perioperative anesthetic agent consumption and postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy for kidney stone.

Read the detailed description

This study was performed after approval of Ethics Committee and parents written consent. Between the ages 1-5, planned percutaneous nephrolithotomy due to kidney stones 40 patients were enrolled in this study, and patients were randomly divided into two group. All patients were performed general anaesthesia. The Group I patients was given ultrasound guided thoracic paravertebral block with 0.5 ml/kg bupivacaine %0.5 after giving prone position and the Group II patients was given 15 mg/kg of paracetamol as postoperative analgesia. In the period of postoperative, if the FLACC > 4; it was planned to dose 1 mg/kg of tramadol. Patients' hemodynamic parameters, oxygen saturation, sevoflurane concentration were recorded 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes intraoperatively. Patients' hemodynamic parameters, oxygen saturation, pain scores (FLACC), satisfaction of parents, the number of patients who additional analgesic requirements and side effects (nausea,vomiting, hypotension, bradycardia, respiration problems etc) were recorded in the postoperative period. Primary outcome measures was pain scores using FLACC scale.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing paravertebral blockade in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Cukurova University.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pain score (time frame: 12 hours). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
