What participants receive

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

  • Erector Spinae Plane BlockProcedure or surgery

    In patients with chest pain, ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block block was performed at T5 transverse process in the cephalo-caudal direction with Tuohy 18 gauge needle in plane until the needle tip was located in the interfascial plane between the transverse process and the erector spinae muscles, 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5% was administered and a catheter was inserted if indicated.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Erector Spinae Plane BlockExperimentalPatients with chest pain or upper abdomen underwent Erector Spinae Plane Block guided by ultrasound, bupivacaine 0.5% 20 ml was administered in the interfascial plane between the transverse process of T5 and the erector muscles of the spine, 60 minutes after dermatomes distribution was evaluated with pinprick and cold.
Receives: Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane Block

What is being measured

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

  1. Dermatomes with sensitive block

    Number (average) of dermatomes with sensitive block with pinprick and cold achieved at 60 minutes after the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block with 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5%. Also, observe the distribution pattern.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. weight

    weight in kilograms and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  2. Adverse events

    Frequency of adverse events (hypotension, pneumothorax, neurological deficit, bradycardia) after the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block.

    Measured: 60 minutes and 24 hours

  3. Success rate

    Success rate (Blocking of at least 2 continuous dermatomes at the puncture site measured with pinprick and cold)

    Measured: 60 minutes and 24 hours

  4. Degree of satisfaction

    Degree of satisfaction evaluated with the Likert scale of 4 points (1 dissatisfied, 2 slightly dissatisfied, 3 slightly satisfied, 4 satisfied).

    Measured: 60 minutes and 24 hours

  5. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on the Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 1 to 10 at 60 minutes and 24 hours after the ESP block.

    Measured: 60 minutes and 24 hours

  6. Height

    Height in meters and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  7. Age

    Age in years and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector Spinae Plane Block in people with Pain, Chronic and Pain, Postoperative, run by Universidad de Antioquia at 1 site in Colombia.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
