About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study Between Ultrasound-guided Serratus Anterior Plane Block and Conventional IV Analgesics in Postoperative Pain Management in Modified Radical Mastectomy

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of ultra-sound guided serratus anterior plane block versus conventional IV analgesics in postoperative pain management in modified radical mastectomy (MRM)

Read the detailed description

All patients undergoing modified radical mastectomy were assigned to one of the following two groups:Group A: Serratus anterior plane block group (SAPB group): this group consists of 20 patients who received ultra sound guided serratus anterior plane block just after induction of anesthesia and Group B: IV analgesics group (control group): this group consists of 20 patients who did not receive any type of block.Further evaluations were carried out by a different investigator who was unaware of the patients' grouping. The degree of post-operative pain was assessed at: just upon arrival to the PACU, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours using the VAS score and the haemodynamic data and respiratory rate were measured during the first 24 hours after the end of the surgery. Postoperative analgesia regimen was standard in both groups; patients from each groups received 1 gm of Paracetamol Q 8 hours.

Patients reporting VAS ( visual analogue score) score greater than 40, mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate or respiratory rate >20% from the baseline, were given Pethidine (50 mg IV) as rescue analgesic. While, those reporting VAS score less than 40 with mean arterial blood pressure, heart rate or respiratory rate >20% from the baseline but still complaining; Ketoralac (30 mg IV) was given with a maximum dose of 120 mg/ day.

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane blockProcedure or surgery

    the patients receive local anesthetic (20 ml of Bupivacaine 0.25 %), injected superficial to the serratus muscle under ultrasound guidance.

Study groups in NCT05126394
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A ( SAPB) groupExperimentalthis group of patients receives serratus anterior plane block, just after induction of anesthesia.
Receives: Procedure: ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block
Group B: control groupNo interventionthis group of patients does not receive any blockade, they receive conventional IV analgesics.

What is being measured

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

  1. the time of first rescue analgesic

    the time taken by the patient to receive first dose of rescue analgesia, guided by the patients VAS score ( if the patients VAS score is 4 or more, the patient receives 50 mg of Pethidine).

    Measured: it is measured for 24 hours after the end of surgery.

  2. total dose of rescue analgesics

    the total dose of Pethidine needed by each patient measured in mg.

    Measured: it is measured for 24 hours after the end of surgery.

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. patients satisfaction

    patients satisfaction is measured on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 means not satisfied at all and 10 means the ultimate satisfaction.

    Measured: 24 hours after the end of surgery.

  2. incidence of nausea and vomiting

    patients are assessed for incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting.

    Measured: 24 hours after the end of surgery.

  3. incidence of any block related complications.

    incidence of any serratus anterior plane block complications (e.g. injection site hematoma, signs and/or symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity ) is detected.

    Measured: 24 hours after the end of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound guided serratus anterior plane block in people with Injection Site Haematoma and Local Anesthetic Toxicity, run by Ain Shams University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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 Nov 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 Egypt. 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?

the time of first rescue analgesic (time frame: it is measured for 24 hours after the end of surgery.). The study lists 2 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 19 Nov 2021.
