About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effects of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Intrathecal Morphine Administration on Intraoperative Sevoflurane Consumption in Disc Surgeries

In our study, the investigators aimed to compare the intraoperative sevoflurane consumption and postoperative analgesic needs of patients who underwent lumbar disc herniation surgery and received either ESP block or ITM in the preoperative period with a control group.

Read the detailed description

The amount of volatile anesthetic agents used for anesthesia maintenance can be significantly reduced with potent and long-acting analgesic interventions administered during the preoperative period. Such interventions enable the maintenance of anesthesia with more optimal levels of agents during surgery, providing significant advantages in terms of both patient safety and cost.

Studies have recommended multimodal analgesia approaches involving the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block and intrathecal morphine (ITM) injection for various surgical procedures. These two methods, through different mechanisms of action, not only reduce intraoperative anesthetic agent consumption but also play a critical role in postoperative pain management. Although studies have investigated the effects of ESP block and ITM injection on intraoperative volatile anesthetic consumption, there is limited research directly comparing their impacts on volatile anesthetic consumption and postoperative analgesic requirements.

In our study, we aimed to compare the intraoperative sevoflurane consumption and postoperative analgesic needs of patients who underwent lumbar disc herniation surgery and received either ESP block or ITM in the preoperative period with a control group.

What is being measured

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

  1. Intraoperative Sevoflurane consumption

    End-expiratory sevoflurane concentration was monitored every 5 minutes for 60 minutes. The mean sevoflurane concentration in the first 60 minutes was calculated.

    Measured: 60 minutes after anesthesia induction

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Rescue analgesic consumption

    When numerical rating scale was 4 or above, rescue analgesic was administered to the patient.

    Measured: 2 hours postoperatively

  2. Rescue analgesic consumption

    When numerical rating scale was 4 or above, rescue analgesic was administered to the patient.

    Measured: 4 hours postoperatively

  3. Rescue analgesic consumption

    When numerical rating scale was 4 or above, rescue analgesic was administered to the patient.

    Measured: 8 hours postoperatively

  4. Rescue analgesic consumption

    When numerical rating scale was 4 or above, rescue analgesic was administered to the patient.

    Measured: 12 hours postoperatively

  5. Rescue analgesic consumption

    When numerical rating scale was 4 or above, rescue analgesic was administered to the patient.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Postoperative Pain and Anesthesia, run by Ankara Etlik City Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 5 inclusion and 13 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Nov 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Intraoperative Sevoflurane consumption (time frame: 60 minutes after anesthesia induction). 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 NCT06693141, which also lists 3 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.

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 19 Nov 2024.
