About this study

Official title: Comparison Between The Analgesic Effect of Oblique Subcostal and Lateral Approach of Ultrasound-Guided Transverse Abdominis Blocks for Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

the investigators will compare the effect of pre-operative oblique subcostal TAP and lateral TAP blocks on the total perioperative opioids consumption for patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Read the detailed description

General anesthesia induction will be achieved using a sleeping dose of fentanyl 1µg/kg intravascular(IV), propofol 2mg/kg (IV), and atracurium 0.5mg/kg (IV) to facilitate tracheal intubation. General anesthesia will be maintained with lungs ventilation by pressure controlled mode with isoflurane

During anesthesia maintenance Intraoperatively, if blood pressure BP or heart rate (HR) increase more than 20% from baseline, intravenous morphine (3- 5mg) will be given to stabilize the patients' haemodynamics. Fifteen minutes before the end of surgery all patients will receive 1g intravenous paracetamol and 4 grams ondansetron.

Patients will be randomly divided into three equal groups:

Group A: will receive bilateral oblique subcostal TAP block Group B: will receive bilateral lateral TAP block. Group C :will receive postoperative morphine by patient-controlled analgesia (PCA).

What participants receive

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

  • Group AProcedure or surgery

    After induction of general anesthesia, oblique subcostal TAP blocks will be done(14) under the guidance of Sonosite ,superficial probe ,14-15 MHz ultrasound transducer

  • Group BProcedure or surgery

    After induction of general anesthesia, bilateral lateral TAP block will be performed (15) under ultrasonographic guidance with transportable ultrasound device ( Sonosite ,superficial probe ,14-15 MHz)

  • Group COther

    the analgesia will be maintained using a morphine patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) device set to give 1.5 mg bolus administration of morphine without a basic rate and 15 min lock-out time. The total amount of morphine administration will be recorded for the subsequent 24 h

What is being measured

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

  1. opioid consumption

    milligrams

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. patient satisfaction

    visual analogue scale ((a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is interpreted as no pain, 1-4 mild pain, 5-6 moderate pain, 7-10 severe pain)

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. anesthesia recovery time

    minutes

    Measured: 1hour

  3. total perioperative analgesics requirements

    milligrams

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. Post-operative anaesthetic care unit (PACU) stay

    minutes

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Group A, Group B and Group C in people with Opioid Use, run by Menoufia University 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 1 inclusion and 7 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 26 Jan 2024. 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?

opioid consumption (time frame: 48 hours). 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 26 Jan 2024.
