About this study

Official title: Effect of Erector Spina Plane Block on Cost of Laparoscopic Cholesistectomy Anesthesia

Use of erector spina plane (ESP) block for postoperative analgesia is continuously increasing. However, few studies have investigated intraoperative effects of ESP block. The investigators aim to study the effects of ESP block in terms of cost-effectiveness, consumption of inhalation agents and opioids in perioperative and postoperative period.

Read the detailed description

Erector spina plane (ESP) block has analgesic efficiency and its popularity is growing steadily. ESP block forms a sensorial block by local anesthetic infiltration between the musculus erector spina and facia. ESP block given to participants undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy for postoperative opioid analgesia resulted in a decrease of postoperative pain scores in the first 24 h. Due to increases in health expenditure, cost control is becoming more and more important. Cost-effective studies are important in healthcare economics. Inhaled anesthetics used in anesthesia departments account for about 20% of total anesthetic agents. Local anesthetic agents decrease the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) value of inhaled agents. And also in perioperative and post operative period, the anesthetic management often need to be supported with opioid drugs. The investigators think that ESP block has analgesic effects and decreases the consumption of inhalation agents. The investigators aim to investigate the cost-effectiveness of ESP block in anesthetic applications in laparoscopic procedures.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing erector spina plane block, cost analysis in people with Cost Effectiveness, run by Kırıkkale 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 4 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 1 Jul 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?

the formula of consumption of inhaled agent (time frame: 30 minute after the operation). 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 1 Jul 2020.
