About this study

Official title: Analgesic Effect of Bilateral Quadratus Lumborum Block in the End of Colorectal Laparosopic Surgery: a Prospective Randomized Pilot Study

The primary purpose of COLOQUAL study is to demonstrate the superiority of analgesic effect of a bilateral quadratus lumborum block (QLB), performed at the end of laparoscopic colorectal surgery, compared to standard of care.

The investigators hypothesized that a bilateral quadratus lumborum block performed at the end of laparoscopic colorectal surgery would reduce the incidence of post operative pain, time spent in recovery room, improve patient's satisfaction, and reduce hospitalisation time

Read the detailed description

Visits:

  • The patient will arrive in the department the day before the surgical intervention (Day-1). During this preoperative visit (Day-1), the investigator
  • will preselect potentially eligible patients
  • will offer to participate to this study
  • will give the notice form to the patients
  • will present the research: objectives, benefits and constraints for the patients
  • The intervention day (Day 0):

The investigator will collect the signed consent form after having ascertained the understanding of the notice form by the patient and checking the inclusion and non-inclusion criteria.

The randomization will be done via the eCRF module (allocation group and number) and the preoperative data registration in the eCRF.

Surgical Intervention (Day 1):

All patients will receive standard anaesthesia using sufentanyl, propopol, cisatracurium and sevoflurane. Prevention of nausea and vomiting is performing using Apfel score. Anti microbial prophylaxis is performed according recommendations.

All patients will receive post operative multimodal analgesia using intravenous lidocaine, acetaminophene, ketaminophene, and morphine if NRS (numerating rating scale) > 3 At the end of the surgery, patients in the experimental group will receive a bilateral ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block with 15 ml of 3,75 mg/mg of ropivacaine. Patients in the control group will not receive the block

What participants receive

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

  • Quadratus lumborum blockProcedure or surgery

    • Bilateral Quatratus lumborum block is performed with ultra sound guidance. The high frequency probe is placed right to the umbilicus, and slips laterally to the side to block. It allows showing the three belts of larges muscles of abdomen (External Oblicum, internal oblicum, and transversal of the abdomen). Laterally, these three are merging to from fascia transversalis. Under fascia transversalis, we can see quadratus lumborum muscle. Punction point in lateral, 1cm in the plan separating quadratus lumborum block and fascia transversalis
    • 20 ml of ropivacaïne 3.75mg/ml are injected after aspiration test. If in doubt, hydro localisation car be realised.

Receives: Procedure: Quadratus lumborum block

What is being measured

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

  1. Morphine Consumption in milligramme

    Once the patient is transferred in post operative surgical service, assessment of the primary outcome will be done by the nurse in charge of the patient

    Measured: 8 AM (ante meridiem) the day after surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. NRS (Numeric rating scale)

    Numerating rating score evaluating pain and variating from 0 (No pain) to 10 (Maximum Pain), done by nurses in operating room and in post operative surgical service

    Measured: At the entrance of recovery room, at day 1 and Day 2 after surgery

  2. Post Operative recovery: QUO-R4O questionnaire

    Quo 40 score is a postoperative recovery score above 200 points (40 is worst score and 200 the best score) validated by Myles et al in 2001.

    Measured: At Day 1 and day 15 after surgery

  3. Time spent in recovery room (in minutes)

    Assessment of time spent in recovery room (ie: entrance in recovery room until Aldrede score is >9) performed by nurses

    Measured: At the output of recovery room ie until 6 hours after intervention

Randomization in 2 groups * Control group (usual practice): patients receiving a general anaesthesia with propofol, sufentanyl and cisatracurium for the induction, and sevoflurane, sufentanyl and cisatracurium for the maintenance. Patients receiving a multimodal intravenous analgesia, with acetaminophen, ketoprophen and morphine. Antimicrobial prophylaxis is performed according to recommendations. * Experimental group: patients receiving a general anaesthesia with propofol, sufentanyl and cisatracurium for the induction, and sevoflurane, sufentanyl and cisatracurium for the maintenance. Patients receiving a multimodal intravenous analgesia, with acetaminophen, ketoprophen and morphine. Antimicrobial prophylaxis is performed according to recommendations. In this group, a bilateral quadratus lumborum block, using 20 ml of ropivacaine 3, 75 mg/ml is performed at the end of surgery, using ultrasound guidance.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Quadratus lumborum block in people with Post Operative Pain and Laparoscopic Colorectal Surgery, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 10 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 18 Apr 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 France. 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?

Morphine Consumption in milligramme (time frame: 8 AM (ante meridiem) the day after surgery). 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 18 Apr 2023.
