About this study

Official title: Impact of Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting and Early Outcome After Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: a Randomized Double-Blinded Controlled Trial

Purpose:

To explore and compare Ultrasound-Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Postoperative nausea and vomiting and Early Outcome After Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery To evaluate and examine TAPB can reduce the application of intraoperative and postoperative opioids and the duration of analgesia

Read the detailed description

Poor postoperative nausea and vomiting control is a leading factor that hinders the physical rehabilitation, and causes acute cognitive impairment and chronic pain syndrome. Recently, the multimodal analgesia strategies to minimise opioid-related side effects are highly desirable in open surgical procedures. The transversus abdominis plane block is a novel technique involving injection of local anaesthetic between the internal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles of the abdominal wall. Although ropivacaine is most commonly used for this technique, the analgesic duration remains not dissatisfied. Herein, we will evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (USG-TAP) block with ropivacaine in Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery

What participants receive

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

What is being measured

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

  1. Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Postoperative nausea and vomiting

    Measured: 72 hours after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Cumulative Sufentanyl Consumption

    Each patient was administered analgesics using a PCA pump containing sufentanil (100μg) in normal saline at a total volume of 100 ml after leaving PACU. This device was set to deliver a basal infusion of 2 ml/h and bolus doses of 0.5 ml with a 15-min lockout period. Sufentanyl cumulative consumption is recorded 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  2. Time of First Postoperative Analgesic Requirement

    First postoperative pain (NRS≥4) is initially controlled by titration of sufentanyl

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

  3. Occurrence of Side Effects

    Occurrence of side effects: nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, shivering, pruritus

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  4. Total Dose of First Postoperative Analgesic Requirement

    First postoperative pain (NRS≥4) is initially controlled by titration of sufentanyl.

    Measured: 1 hour after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ropivacaine in people with Nausea and Vomiting and Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery, run by Tianjin Medical University General Hospital at 2 sites in China.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 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 2 sites in China. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Zhen Jia, MD (13002211205, 1464322162@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Postoperative nausea and vomiting (time frame: 72 hours after surgery). 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 23 Aug 2021.
