About this study

Official title: Effects of Open Thoracic Paravertebral Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Open Pulmonary Lobectomy

The study was aimed to assess the effects of open thoracic paravertebral block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open pulmonary lobectomy under general anesthesia. Then, A total of 90 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for open pulmonary lobectomy under propofol - remifentanil total intravenous anaesthesia, were randomly divided into PCIA group (group G), Ultrasound-guided TPVB combined with PCIA group (group U), and open TPVB combined with PCIA group (group E).Finally, the study find that Open TPVB can provided satisfactory analgesia for patients undergoing open pulmonary lobectomy under general anesthesia, and the analgesia efficacy was equivalent to the TPVB under ultrasound guidance,which should be popularized.

Purpose: The study was aimed to assess the effects of open thoracic paravertebral block on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing open pulmonary lobectomy under general anesthesia.

Methods: A total of 90 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores of Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for open pulmonary lobectomy under propofol - remifentanil total intravenous anaesthesia, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 30 each) by using a random number table: PCIA group (group G), Ultrasound-guided TPVB combined with PCIA group (group U), and open TPVB combined with PCIA group (group E). In group G, patients were received PCIA after the surgery. In group U, TPVB was performed on the operated side under ultrasound guidance with 0.25% ropivacaine 30 ml combined with the PCIA after the surgery. In group E, the TPVB was performed under the direct vision with 0.25% ropivacaine 30 ml combined with the PCIA. The Visual Analogue Score (VAS) at rest and during coughing, the sensory nerve block segment, as well as the respiratory rate were measured and recorded at different time-points. Furthermore, the hemodynamic vital signs at different time - points, the number of successfully delivered doses 48 h after the surgery, as well as the incidence of postoperative complications were also recorded and analyzed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Open TPVB and Ultrasound-guided TPVB in people with Lung Cancer, run by Kunming Medical 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 4 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Change in Visual Analogue Score at rest (time frame: 30 minutes after extubation,1 hour after extubation, 2 hour after extubation, 4 hour after extubation, 6 hour after extubation, 8 hour after extubation, 12 hour after extubation, 24 hour after extubation, 48 hour after extubation). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 28 Feb 2018.
