Trial summary

Alleviating pain in children undergoing renal transplant is extremely challenging. Large incisions as those of renal transplant (Gibson's incision) require special techniques of pain control that don't affect hemodynamics or renal function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Unilateral Dual Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Pediatric Renal Transplant: A Randomized Control Study

Alleviating pain in children undergoing renal transplant is extremely challenging. Large incisions as those of renal transplant (Gibson's incision) require special techniques of pain control that don't affect hemodynamics or renal function. Since the transplant incision doesn't cross midline; a dual-TAP block is thought to be effective in providing pain control in such procedure as it will anesthetize the dermatomes T6-T12, the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall together with the underlying parietal peritoneum.

  • PethidineDrug

    pethidine intravenous at a dose 1mg/kg when pain score more than 5 postoperative rescue analgesia

  • perfalganDrug

    intravenous paracetamol

  • fentanylDrug

What is being measured

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

  1. total dose of rescue analgesia

    pethidine given as rescue analgesia postoperative.

    Measured: from the time of transfer of the patient to the intensive care unit at one hour intervals for 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. pain scoring system (objective behavioural pain score)

    Measured: from the time of transfer to the nephrology ICU, every hour for the first 24 hours postoperative

  2. Intraoperative blood pressure

    measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure

    Measured: from the induction of anesthesia till end of surgery at half an hour intervals average duration is 4 hours

  3. postoperative blood pressure

    record systolic and diastolic blood pressure every hour for the first 24 hours postoperative

    Measured: from the time of transfer of the patient to the intensive care unit at one hour intervals for 24 hours

  4. postoperative heart rate

    Measured: from the time of transfer of the patient to the intensive care unit at one hour intervals for 24 hours

  5. intraoperative heart rate

    Measured: from the induction of anesthesia till end of surgery at half an hour intervals average duration is 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bupivacaine, Pethidine and perfalgan in people with Renal Failure, run by Cairo 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 4 inclusion and 1 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 7 May 2019. 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. 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 dose of rescue analgesia (time frame: from the time of transfer of the patient to the intensive care unit at one hour intervals for 24 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 7 May 2019.
