About this study

Official title: The Ideal Local Anesthetic for Intraperitoneal Gallbladder Bed Infiltration Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy - a Randomized Controlled Trial

To control pain after surgery for removal of gallbladder, local anesthetic agent can be sprayed on the liver bed from where the gallbladder is removed. This study was conducted to identify the ideal local anesthetic agent for this purpose.

Read the detailed description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard operation for symptomatic cholelithiasis; however, pain remains a major factor increasing morbidity and length of hospital stay. Infiltration of gallbladder bed with local anesthetic has been shown to improve post-operative pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, although, it is unclear which local anesthetic provides superior pain relief. Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies were randomized into 3 groups of 30 patients each depending on the local anesthetic instilled in the gallbladder bed; lignocaine (Group A), bupivacaine (Group B), or a combination of lignocaine and bupivacaine (Group C). Pain was measured using visual analogue score at 2-, 6-, 12- and 24-hours following surgery

What participants receive

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

  • Local AnesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    In Group A, patients received 20 ml of 1% lignocaine (Xyloaid-lignocaine HCl injection) infiltrated in the gall bladder bed after removal of the gall bladder, along with 10 ml of 1% lignocaine infiltration at the port sites at the end of the procedure. Subjects in Group B received 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine (Bupicain-Bupivacaine HCl injection) infiltration in gall bladder bed, along with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine at port sites. In Group C patients received 10 ml of 1% lignocaine along with 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine infiltrated in gall bladder bed, and then 5 ml of 1% lignocaine along with 5 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine at the port sites

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analogue scale - pain score

    Visual analogue score to quantify pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Maximum value is 10 (which means worst pain), and minimum value is 0 (which means no pain).

    Measured: 2-, 6-, 12-, 24-hours following surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Shoulder tip pain

    The time following surgery when shoulder tip pain was gone

    Measured: within 24 hours following surgery

  2. Flatus

    Time to passing flatus

    Measured: within 24 hours following surgery

  3. nausea/vomiting

    time when nausea/vomiting was not present in the patient

    Measured: within 24 hours following surgery

  4. Time to ambulation

    time after surgery when the patient started ambulating

    Measured: within 24 hours following surgery

  5. rescue analgesia

    number of times rescue analgesia was used

    Measured: within 24 hours following surgery

  6. Mean arterial pressure

    systolic and diastolic blood pressures were measured for the patients at intervals, and then mean arterial pressures were calculated

    Measured: 2-, 6-, 12-, 24-hours following surgery

  7. Heart rate

    Heart rate was measured at intervals in beats per minute

    Measured: 2-, 6-, 12-, 24 hours

  8. oxygen saturation

    oxygen saturation was noted at intervals

    Measured: 2-, 6-, 12-, 24 hours

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?

Visual analogue scale - pain score (time frame: 2-, 6-, 12-, 24-hours following surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06605235, which also lists 11 linked publications.

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.
