About this study

Official title: Subcostal Transverse Abdominis Plane Block for Epigastric Cardiac Pacemaker Operation: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of subcostal transverse abdominis plane block on the postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients (12y≤ age) who will undergo epigastric cardiac pacemaker operation.

Patients will be allocated to either the SC TAP(subcostal transverse abdominis plane block) group or the control group (no block). Bilateral subcostal transverse abdominis plane block will be performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (0.5mL/kg for each side, MAX 20mL for each side) under ultrasound-guidance at the end of surgery.

The pain score at 10 min after PACU admin, 1, 6, 24 hours after the surgery, the total opioid consumption at 12, and 24 hours after the surgery, the total dose of additional rescue analgesia (intravenous ketololac or nalbuphine) at 12 and 24 hour after the surgery will be recorded.

What participants receive

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

  • SC TAPProcedure or surgery

    Bilateral subcostal transverse abdominis plane block will be performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (0.5mL/kg for each side, MAX 20mL for each side) under ultrasound-guidance at the end of surgery.

  • ControlProcedure or surgery

    No regional block is provided at the end of surgery.

What is being measured

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

  1. Pain score, resting

    Pain score at resting is assessed by Numeric rating scale; A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: at 10 minutes after the PACU admin

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Pain score, coughing

    Pain score at coughing is assessed by Numeric rating scale : A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

    Measured: at 1hour, 6hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.

  2. total opioid consumption at 12, 24 hours after the end of surgery

    total opioid consumption at 12, 24 hours after the end of surgery (IV Nalbuphine 1mg = IV Morphine 1mg = IV Fentanyl 10mcg (0.01mg)

    Measured: at 12hours, 24 hours after the end of surgery

  3. Total additional dose of acetaminophen

    Total additional dose of acetaminophen (mg)

    Measured: at 12hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.

  4. Total additional dose of ketorolac

    Total additional dose of ketorolac (mg)

    Measured: at 12hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.

  5. The incidence of side effects of analgesic medications (percent)

    The incidence of side effects of analgesic medications: Nausea, Vomit, Constipation, Pruritus, Dizziness, Dry mouth, Sedation

    Measured: within 24 hours after the end of surgery

  6. The incidence of side effects of ropivacaine (percent)

    The incidence of side effects of ropivacaine: Arrhythmia, Hypotension, ST change, Dizziness, Convulsion

    Measured: within 1 hour after the end of surgery

  7. Hospital stay (days)

    Postoperative hospital stay (days)

    Measured: within 14 days after the end of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing SC TAP in people with Congenital Heart Disease, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 1 site in South Korea.

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 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 31 Oct 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 South Korea. 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?

Pain score, resting (time frame: at 10 minutes after the PACU admin). 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 31 Oct 2023.
