About this study

Official title: The Efficacy of Three Different Surgically Infiltrated Local Anesthetic Techniques in Abdominoplasty

This study was conducted to demonstrate post-abdominoplasty analgesic duration consequent to three different surgically infiltrated LA techniques; bilateral TAPB, bilateral RSB and subcutaneous infiltration using the same volume of 0.25% bupivacaine (40 ml). Pain score, total analgesic rescue requests and the total amount of systemic rescue analgesia used in the first postoperative day in addition to any detected postoperative complications were also recorded.

Being tested
Transevrsus abdominus plane block, Rectus sheath block, local anesthesia infiltartion

What participants receive

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

  • Transevrsus abdominus plane blockDrug

    a blunt needle was advanced in the midaxillary line to reach the fascial layer between the internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscles detected by facial click sensation. The LA was slowly injected so as to detect any sign of toxicity or incorrect needle tip position (as resistance) requiring needle repositioning then TAPB was repeated on the opposite side.

  • Rectus sheath blockDrug

    In RSB group, 2-3 cm from midline, about 3-5 cm above the umbilicus, the needle was advanced at right angle to the skin. The needle reaches the space between the posterior layer of the rectus sheath and rectus abdominis muscle detected by firm resistance of the posterior wall, The LA was slowly injected then the same steps were repeated on the other side.

  • local anesthesia infiltartionDrug

    40 mls of 0.255 bupivacaine will be infiltrated at skin incision

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transevrsus abdominus plane block, Rectus sheath block and local anesthesia infiltartion in people with Abdominoplasty Patients, run by Mansoura 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 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

morphine consumption (mg) (time frame: up to 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?
