Trial summary

Brief summary: Regional anesthesia decreases the need for intravenous analgesia in the peri-operative period. Erector spinae plane (ESP) is a regional anesthesia technique shown to be effective at the dorsal and ventral rami of the thoracic spinal nerve along with sympathetic nerve fibers.

About this study

Official title: The Evaluation of Ultrasonography-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Perioperative Analgesia and Intraabdominal Tissue Oxygenation in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal Surgery

Brief summary: Regional anesthesia decreases the need for intravenous analgesia in the peri-operative period. Erector spinae plane (ESP) is a regional anesthesia technique shown to be effective at the dorsal and ventral rami of the thoracic spinal nerve along with sympathetic nerve fibers. The purpose is to demonstrate the contribution of ESP block to the postoperative analgesia by ultrasonography and to increase intraabdominal tissue oxygenation compared to the control group.

Read the detailed description

50 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical score I-II were randomly divided into 25 patients in the ESP group and 25 patients in the control group. Patients were premedicated with oral midazolam 0.5 mg kg-1, 30 minutes before surgery Anesthesia monitorization was made with electrocardiogram, non-invasive blood pressure, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2), end-tidal carbon dioxide, temperature, Bispectral index (BIS), and Regional tissue saturation (rSO2). Anesthesia was induced with a face mask distributing 8% sevoflurane and 50% air in oxygen while the patients were breathing spontaneously. After anesthesia induction, peripheral venous access was established and propofol 2 mg kg-1 and fentanyl citrate 1 μg kg-1 were administered. Laryngeal mask airways were used to secure the upper airways. Anesthesia was maintained with sevoflurane and 50% air in oxygen. The concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted by targeting BIS scores at 50-60 in all groups. During the operations, fentanyl was administered at a dose of 0.5 μg kg-1 if the blood pressure and heart rates were 20% higher than the baseline value. In ESP blok groups, after general anesthesia induced, patients were placed in the lateral position and ESP block was performed under ultrasound guidance. For ESP block, 1: 1 ratio of 0.25% bupivacaine and 0.4 ml / kg of 1% lidocaine was administered. In all groups, regional tissue saturation (RSO2) was evaluated Continuously with near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) probe from anesthesia induction to the end of surgery. Commercially available device (INVOS Cerebral Oximeter; somatics Corp, Troy, Mich) was used to monitor rSO2 values in the surgery side flank during surgical intervention. Pain was evaluated and recorded using the FLACC (Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability) scale at the 1st, 2nd, 8th, 12th and 24th hours. Total analgesic consumption was recorded during the operation and postoperative time to first analgesic drug and number of patients who required analgesic in the first 24 hours, parents satisfaction score, discharge time as well as adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting were recorded in the postoperative periods.

What participants receive

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

  • Bupivacaine and LidocaineDrug

    Also called ESP block

    ESP block was administered under general anesthesia before the surgery. Patients with ESP block, 1: 1 ratio of 0.25% bupivacaine and 0.4 ml / kg of 1% lidocaine

What is being measured

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

  1. FLACC scale

    FLACC scale was used. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale (FLACC) scale was a measurement used to assess pain for children between the ages of 6 months and 2 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.

    Measured: From recovery of anesthesia to end of study ( postoperative 24 hours)

  2. NIRS

    INVOS ;Somatic Corp, Troy, Mic sensors placed in surgical side of patients was used to detect peripheral perfusion and oxygen delivery (rSo2)

    Measured: Before anesthesia induction to end of operation ( intraoperative 2 hours )

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to first analgesic drug

    Time to first analgesic drug will be recorded

    Measured: first 24 hour

  2. Need for analgesic

    Number of patients who required analgesic in the first 24 hour

    Measured: first 24 hour

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bupivacaine and Lidocaine in people with Lower Abdominal Surgery, run by Bezmialem Vakif University 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 3 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 20 Mar 2020. 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?

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?

FLACC scale (time frame: From recovery of anesthesia to end of study ( postoperative 24 hours)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Mar 2020.
