What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound guided serratus anterior block with ropivacaineDrug

    After induction of anesthesia, patients take ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block with 0.5ml/kg of ropivacaine 0.375%. 30minutes before the end of operation, intravenous patient controlled analgesia (Basal rate 0ml/hr, 0.5mcg/kg of fentanyl, lock-out time 10minutes) is connected to patient.

  • intravenous PCA onlyDrug

    same dose of intravenous patient controlled analgesia (Basal rate 0ml/hr, 0.5mcg/kg of fentanyl, lock-out time 10minutes) is connected to patient only.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total opioid consumption

    Assessing total opioid consumption (total number of bolus injection and total dose of fentanyl via intravenous patient controlled analgesia) within 24hours after operation finished.

    Measured: within 24 hrs after mastectomy

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Postoperative pain scale (Numeric rating scale 0-10) at PACU

    Measured: chang from 3,6,12,24 to 48hrs after operation end

  2. Total intraoperative remifentanil consumption(mcg)

    Measured: within 24 hrs after mastectomy

  3. Additional analgesics requirements (dose/number)

    Measured: within 24 hrs after mastectomy

  4. incidence and intensity of postoperative nausea and vomiting(NRS:0-10)

    Measured: within 24 hrs after mastectomy

  5. Total hospital staying time

    Measured: within 24 hrs after mastectomy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound guided serratus anterior block with ropivacaine and intravenous PCA only in people with Breast Cancer, run by Yonsei University at 1 site in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 8 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 17 Jul 2018. 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 South Korea. 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. 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?

Total opioid consumption (time frame: within 24 hrs after mastectomy). 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 17 Jul 2018.
