About this study

Official title: Analgesic and Respiratory Outcomes in Patients Receiving Continuous Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block Compared to Continuous Preperitoneal Catheter Wound Infusion After Upper Abdominal Surgery: a Randomized Double-blind Study

We aim to compare the postoperative analgesic and respiratory outcomes in patients receiving continuous bupivacaine infusion via bilateral erector spinae catheters versus preperitoneal catheters in upper abdominal surgeries.

Being tested
Erector Spinae Plane block, Continuous Wound Infusion

What participants receive

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

  • Erector Spinae Plane blockProcedure or surgery

    An ultrasound linear probe is going to be placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral to the T6 spinous process corresponding to the T5 transverse process. . Local infiltration with 2% of lignocaine at the site of needle insertion is going to be administered. Using in plane approach an 18 G Tuohy needle will be inserted in caudal-cephalad direction, until the tip is deep to erector spinae muscle, as evidenced by visible hydro-dissection below the muscle plane, and on injection of 5 ml of normal saline.

  • Continuous Wound InfusionProcedure or surgery

    Towards the end of surgery, a multiholed 15-cm Anesthesia catheter will be placed in the preperitoneal space (the subfascial space between the peritoneum and posterior fascia) under direct vision and to be tunneled via the rectus sheath to the skin, rolled out and exiting laterally and stabilized with an adhesive tape on skin.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector Spinae Plane block and Continuous Wound Infusion in people with Abdominal Cancer Surgery, run by South Egypt Cancer Institute.

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 1 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 16 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Total Morphine consumption (time frame: 48 hours). 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 16 Nov 2021.
