About this study

Official title: Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block Attenuates Surgery-related Stress Response in Cardiac Surgery Patients Undergoing Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Program

Surgery-induced pain reveals its own metabolic and inflammatory responses, resulting in a further increase in noxious pathways that are already occurring. Even though it is difficult to distinguish whether the metabolic and inflammatory responses are pain-induced or surgical-induced, it is clear that pain can cause a response. This study aims to investigate the effects of erector spinae plane block on surgery-related stress response with enhanced recovery after cardiac surgery protocol.

Read the detailed description

The Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERAS Cardiac) program includes a perioperative multimodal, opioid-sparing pain management plan as an essential component of any comprehensive program. A multimodal pain management plan is nonopioid systemic analgesic agents, regional and local anesthetic techniques, and judicious use of opioids. This study aims to examine inflammatory and hematological parameters in patients who underwent cardiac surgery with ERAS, with and without preoperative bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESP). For this purpose, the presence of an obstacle ESP block application in the preoperative period will be investigated in patients who are prepared for cardiac surgery according to ERAS principles, and the patient's group will be determined accordingly. An analgesia protocol that does not include a regional technique will be applied to the patient in cases such as the patient's refusal to allow preoperative block and the presence of a situation that does not allow blockage in the block area. The perioperative characteristics of ERAS patients with and without ESP block will be examined, intraoperative lactate, and preop-postoperative hemogram-albumin-C reactive protein parameters will be recorded.

ERAS patients with ESP block: After preparation in accordance with the ERAS protocol, ultrasound-guided bilateral ESP block will be performed with 20 ml of 0.025% bupivacaine at T5-7 levels in patients taken to the operating room in the preoperative period, and will be administered intraoperative low-dose remifentanil infusion and sevoflurane anesthesia.

ERAS patients without ESP block: After preparation according to the ERAS protocol, patients will be administered lidocaine, ketamine, paracetamol, and intraoperative low-dose remifentanil infusion and sevoflurane anesthesia.

    Measured: After anesthesia induction, an average of 5 minutes

  3. Second measurements- after cardiopulmonary bypass initiation

    After cardiopulmonary bypass initiation, blood gas analysis will be performed and lactate level (mmol/L) will be recorded.

    Measured: After cardiopulmonary bypass inititation, an average of 5 minutes

  4. Second measurements- after cardiopulmonary bypass initiation

    After cardiopulmonary bypass initiation, blood gas analysis will be performed and hemoglobin level (g/dL) will be recorded.

    Measured: After cardiopulmonary bypass inititation, an average of 5 minutes

  5. Third measurements- during cardiopulmonary bypass, at lowest temperature

    During cardiopulmonary bypass, at lowest temperature, blood gas analysis will be performed and lactate level (mmol/L) will be recorded.

    Measured: During cardiopulmonary bypass, an average of 10 minutes

  6. Third measurements- during cardiopulmonary bypass, at lowest temperature

    During cardiopulmonary bypass, at lowest temperature, blood gas analysis will be performed and hemoglobin level (g/dL) will be recorded.

    Measured: During cardiopulmonary bypass, an average of 10 minutes

  7. Fourth measurements- end of cardiopulmonary bypass

    At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, blood gas analysis will be performed and lactate level (mmol/L) will be recorded.

    Measured: At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, an average of 10 minutes

  8. Fourth measurements- end of cardiopulmonary bypass

    At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, blood gas analysis will be performed and hemoglobin level (g(dL) will be recorded.

    Measured: At the end of cardiopulmonary bypass, an average of 10 minutes

  9. Fifth measurements- end of surgery

    At the end of surgery, blood gas analysis will be performed and lactate level (mmol/L) will be recorded.

    Measured: At the end of surgery, an average of 20 minutes

  10. Fifth measurements- end of surgery

    At the end of surgery, blood gas analysis will be performed and hemoglobin level (g/dL) will be recorded.

    Measured: At the end of surgery, an average of 20 minutes

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Preoperative complete blood count

    Preoperative complete blood count will be evaluated and recorded.

    Measured: The day before surgery, 24 hours

  2. Preoperative albumin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector spinae plane block in people with Surgery Stress, 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 1 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 20 Aug 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?

Basal measurements- after anesthesia induction (time frame: After anesthesia induction, an average of 5 minutes). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Aug 2021.
