About this study

Official title: Transversus Abdominis Plan Block Applied in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomies Effective By Which Method: Ultrasound or Laparoscopic?

Abdominal wall blocks are frequently used as part of multimodal analgesia for pain control after abdominal surgery. There are studies using the Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for postoperative pain control in laparoscopic cholecystectomies.

In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and laparoscopy during surgery.In this study, the investigators aimed to compare the advantages of these two methods by applying the Transversus Abdominis Plan Block for postoperative pain control after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with the help of postoperative USG and LAPAROSCOPY during surgery.

Read the detailed description

A total of 60 patients aged 18-65, ASA 1-2-3, who will undergo elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy in our hospital, will be included in the study. Patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups with ultrasound (USG) guided (GROUP 1: USG) , Laparoscopic application (GROUP 2: LAP) and GROUP 3 :No-TAP blok Each group consists of 20 evil people. Written consent will be obtained by explaining the procedure to be performed before the operation to the patients. The Transversus Abdominis Plan Block will be applied to the patients by a blind anesthesiologist according to their group. The block to be made by the anesthesiologist who will apply the block procedure will be given in a closed envelope.

What participants receive

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

  • bupivacaineDrug

    In one arm the TAP infiltration will contain 10 mL of 0.25 % bupivacaine injected . This will then be repeated on the contralateral side.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean postoperative static and dynamic numeric rating scale (NRS) at 24 hours

    • compare the mean NRS at 0hr, 1hr, 2 hrs. 6 hrs. 12 hrs. and 24hrs. post-operatively between three groups Numeric rating scale for pain,(0=no pain, 1-3= mild pain, 4-6 moderate pain, 7-10 severe pain.)

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Post operative nausea or vomiting

    instances of nausea or vomiting in the post operative period will be recorded

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing bupivacaine in people with Bupivacaine and Anesthetics, Local, run by Ankara City Hospital Bilkent 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 8 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 28 Jan 2021. 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?

Mean postoperative static and dynamic numeric rating scale (NRS) at 24 hours (time frame: 24 hours). 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 28 Jan 2021.
