About this study

Official title: Establishing Technique for PECS Type 2 (Serratus Block) Catheter Insertion With Ultrasound Guidence

The investigators are trying to establish an easy technique for insertion of a catheter for continuous infusion while performing pectoral type 2 (serratus) block, as a post operative pain controlling measure for cases undergoing simple mastectomy, using ultrasound guidence

Read the detailed description

As the space between the pectoralis minor and the serratus anterior is a fashial plane with a connective tissue occupying. we are trying to demonstrate a simple technique for inserting a catheter within that fashial plane and making sure of the catheter position, to ensure post operative analgesia for cases performing simple mastectomy.

Now the Pectoralis type 2 block (PECS type 2) is an established technique as regional block technique for chest wall procedures.

We are trying to maximizing the benefit of the block with a catheter insertion to use it for continuous infusion of bupivacaine for controlling post operative pain in cases performing simple mastectomy procedure

Being tested
Pectoralis II block & catheter without Lidocaine dissection, Pectoralis II block & catheter with Lidocaine dissection, catheter insertion
Keywords

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Pectoralis II block & catheter without Lidocaine dissectionProcedure or surgery

    B Braun Catheter Kit Contiplex with a 18 gauge needle will be used. After topicalization of the skin and sterilization using ultrasound guidance to facilitate performing insertion of the canula. Confirming the tip position will be done by ultrasonography while performing pectoralis type 2 block for cases undergoing simple mastectomy procedures

  • Pectoralis II block & catheter with Lidocaine dissectionProcedure or surgery

    B Braun Catheter Kit Contiplex with a 18 gauge needle will be used. After topicalization of the skin and sterilization using ultrasound guidance to facilitate performing insertion of the canula. 10 ml of lidocaine 1% will be injected for plan dissection to facilitate the procedure. Confirming the tip position will be done by ultrasonography while performing pectoralis type 2 block for cases undergoing simple mastectomy procedures

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. successful catheter insertion

    confirming catheter insertion 5 cm beyond the tip of needle in the proper plan using ultrasound

    Measured: during time of performing the block

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of attempts

    Number of attempts needed for successful insertion

    Measured: during time of performing the block

  2. Duration needed for insertion

    Duration needed for successful insertion

    Measured: during time of performing the block

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pectoralis II block & catheter without Lidocaine dissection, Pectoralis II block & catheter with Lidocaine dissection and catheter insertion in people with Breastcancer and Phyllodes Breast Tumor, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Sep 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

successful catheter insertion (time frame: during time of performing the block). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Sep 2020.
