About this study

Official title: Hemi-diaphragmatic Paresis After Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Carotid Endarterectomy

To assess the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block

Read the detailed description

The ultrasound (USG) guided ESP block was first defined in 2016. With the administration of local anesthesia between the transverse process of the vertebra and the erector spinae muscle, it is stated that the effect mechanism of ESP is that spread blocks the ventral and dorsal rami to the paravertebral area. The aim of the study is to assess the incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis following ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block.

What participants receive

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

  • ESP blockOther

    ESP block performed using ultrasound guidance. Diaphragmatic excursion was measured using M-mode ultrasound during normal breathing, deep breathing and with the sniff manoeuvre.

What is being measured

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

  1. incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis

    Diaphragmatic excursion was measured using M-mode ultrasound during normal breathing, deep breathing and with the sniff manoeuvre.

    Measured: 30 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. opioid consumption

    intraoperative opioid consumption will be recorded

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. postoperative analgesia consumption

    postoperative analgesia consumption for 24 hours will be recorded

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. intraoperative local anesthetic consumption

    amount of intraoperative additional local anesthetic consumption will be recorded

    Measured: 1 hour

  4. Postoperative Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score

    postoperative pain assessment will be recorded using NRS score (NRS 0=no pain, NRS 10= most severe possible)

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Regional Anesthesia and Carotid Endarterectomy, run by Antalya Training and Research Hospital 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 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 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 was stopped early (reason given: insufficient number of patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

incidence of hemi-diaphragmatic paresis (time frame: 30 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04706780, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 30 Jul 2021.
