About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Blockade in Patients Scheduled for Minimally Invasively Mitral Valve Replacement

Patients scheduled for minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Each patient will be treated with intravenous (i.v.) oxycodone - patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Half of the patients will be randomly allocated to Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blockade group.

Read the detailed description

Only patients who are qualified for an elective procedure of mitral valve replacement may participate in the study. Each patient will be anesthetized generally. The same drugs will be used in each stage of anesthesia. The induction: etomidate, remifentanil, rocuronium, scolina as required. The maintenance: sevoflurane, remifentanil, rocuronium. The emergence: oxygen, sugammadex or neostigmine a required.

Patients will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: PCA or ESP. Among the patients from ESP group will have ESP blockade before the induction of general anesthesia. ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.2 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 40 mL.

Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval. This is standard protocol in our department.

Only patients who are successfully awakened after the procedure may participate in the study.

The pain intensity will be assessed with visual-analogue scale (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour after the end of anesthesia.

The total consumption of oxycodone will be also monitored.

What participants receive

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

  • Erector Spinae Plane blockadeProcedure or surgery

    Also called ESP

    Before the beginning of the procedure, ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.2 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 40 mL.

  • OxycodoneDrug

    Also called PCA with oxycodone

    Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval.

  • general anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    Also called GA

    Each patient will generally anesthetized and endotracheal tube will be inserted

  • paracetamolDrug

    Paracetamol will be given i.v. every 6 hours.

ESPExperimentalBefore the induction of general anesthesia, Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blockade will be done. Postoperative analgesia is provided with intravenous oxycodone. Patient-controlled analgesia pump (PCA) will be used for this purpose.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain intensity

    Patients' self-pain assessment with VAS (visual-analogue scale)

    Measured: From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively. VAS range from 0 (no pain, good outcome) to 100 in millimeters (the worst pain ever, bad outcome).

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Total consumption of oxycodone

    The cumulative consumption of oxycodone during 24 hour from the end of anesthesia.

    Measured: From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Erector Spinae Plane blockade, Oxycodone and general anesthesia in people with Postoperative Pain and Mitral Valve Disease, run by Medical University of Lublin at 1 site in Poland.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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 28 Nov 2023. 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 Poland. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Pain intensity (time frame: From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively. VAS range from 0 (no pain, good outcome) to 100 in millimeters (the worst pain ever, bad outcome).). 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 28 Nov 2023.
