About this study

Official title: Effect of Bilateral Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block on Postoperative Morphine Consumption in Patients Undergoing Elective On-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery: a Retrospective Study.

Coronary artery bypass graft surgery is the standard surgical treatment for coronary disease. However, there is no consensus on analgesic management in patients undergoing CABG.

The aim of the study is to evualuate efficacy of bilateral transversus thoracis muscle plane (TTMP) block combined with systemic analgesia, compared to systemic analgesia only, in patients undergoing elective on-pump CABG surgery.

Our main hypothesis is that a bilateral TTMP block performed after CABG surgery could reduce morphine consumption during the first 48 hours.

The investigators conducted an age, gender and type of surgery-matched retrospective cohort study in the Montpellier University Hospital (France).

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound guided Bilateral Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Also called Transversus Thoracis Muscle Plane Block. Parasternal Block.

    In the "TTMP block" group, an ultrasounded guided TTMP block was performed by an anesthesiologist, in ICU, before tracheal tube removal. Between the 4th et 5th rib, on each side, 40 ml of Ropivacaine 2 mg/ml, in association with Clonidine, was injected "single-shot" in the tranversus thoracis muscle plane. The targets of local anesthetic were the anterior branches of intercostal nerves from T2 to T6. Dexamethasone 8 mg was injected intravenously.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Systemic analgesiaPatients received only systemic analgesia : Acetaminophen, Ketoprofen, and Nefopam were administered systematically. Morphine was administered if necessary, according to our institutional pain management protocol.
Bilateral TTMP block + systemic analgesiaPatients received the same protocol of systemic analgesia associated with a bilateral TTMP block performed during the first four hours after ICU admission, before tracheal tube removal.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Pain Syndrome, run by University Hospital, Montpellier 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Apr 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 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?

cumulative morphine consumption (time frame: postoperative day 2). 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 19 Apr 2021.
