About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Epidural Analgesia Initiated in the Preoperative Period in Lower Extremity Osteosarcoma

In this study, the investigators aim to reduce complications in orthopedic malignancy surgeries and to increase the quality of life of patients who will be operated on.

Read the detailed description

In the preoperative period, the participants will be taken to the block room. The participants will be monitored, standard sedation will be applied.

Patients in the first group will be provided with preoperative and peroperative analgesia with an epidural catheter. The second group patient will be get no block. Afterwards, both groups will be operated under similar general anesthesia conditions. A patient-controlled analgesia device will be attached to each group of participants and their postoperative follow-up will be made.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Epidural AnalgesiaProcedure or surgery

    In the anesthesia preparation room, an epidutal catheter will be placed with a toue needle through the L4-5 spinal space. After induction of general anesthesia, 10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected through the epidural catheter.Afterwards, peroperative and postoperative analgesia will be provided with epidural PCA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Opioid consumption

    miligram

    Measured: 48 hours

  2. Measurement of postoperative pain

    VAS (visual analog scale) (0: no pain, 10: the worst pain imaginable)

    Measured: 48 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Amount of peroperative bleeding

    Mililiter

    Measured: During surgery

  2. Amount of postoperative bleeding

    Mililiter

    Measured: 48 Hours

  3. Postoperative complications

    yes/no

    Measured: postoperative period up to 3 days

  4. Intensive care unit stay

    hours

    Measured: 48 hours

  5. Hospital stay

    hours

    Measured: 72 hours

  6. Patient satisfaction

    5-point Likert scale: very satisfied (= 5), satisfied (= 4), neutral (= 3), dissatisfied (= 2) and very dissatisfied (= 1)

    Measured: Will be done 3 times 1- a day after surgery 2- in the 1st week follow up after surgery 3- in the 1st month follow-up after surgery

  7. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)

    0-9: indicates minimal depression 10-18: indicates mild depression 19-29: indicates moderate depression 30-63: indicates severe depression

    Measured: Will be done 2 times 1- on pre-operative hospitalization 2- in the 1st month follow-up after surgery]
