About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Efficacy of Pectoral Nerve (PECs) Blocks in Patients Undergoing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Insertion

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of the Pectoralis Nerve (PECS) block for CIED insertion.

Read the detailed description

Implantable Cardiac Electronic Device (CIED) insertion can be performed under local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia. Novel regional blocks may improve pain management for such patients and can shorten their length of stay in the hospital. At the study, the investigators aimd to evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of the PECS block for CIED insertion procedure.

Being tested
Pectoral Nerve (PECs) block
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • Pectoral Nerve (PECs) blockOther

    Pectoral Nerve (PECS) blocks were performed on the side of surgery, using the ultrasound-guided technique 30 min before the implantable cardiac electronic device (pacemaker, implantable cardioverter defibrillator) insertion procedure

What is being measured

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

  1. amount of intraoperative additional local anesthetic

    amount of intraoperative additional local anesthetic administered by the cardiologist during the CIED insertion procedure was recorded.

    Measured: 1 hour

  2. number of patients who requiring intraoperative additional local anesthetic

    Number of patients requiring intraoperative additional local anesthetic was recorded.

    Measured: 1 hour

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Postoperative pain scores

    Postoperative pain scores were assessed by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores from 0 (no pain) to 10 (maximum possible pain) for 24 hours postoperatively.

    Measured: 24 hours

  2. time to first postoperative analgesic requirement

    time to first postoperative analgesic requirement was recorded for 24 hours postoperatively

    Measured: 24 hours

  3. patient satisfaction

    Patient satisfaction was assessed by a 5-point Likert scale (ie, "1: very dissatisfied," "2: dissatisfied," "3: neutral," "4: satisfied," and "5: very satisfied") 24 hours after the procedure

    Measured: 24 hours

  4. cardiologist satisfaction

    Cardiologist satisfaction was assessed by a 5-point Likert scale (ie, "1: very dissatisfied," "2: dissatisfied," "3: neutral," "4: satisfied," and "5: very satisfied") 24 hours after the procedure

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pectoral Nerve (PECs) block in people with Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device and Nerve Block, run by Antalya Training and Research Hospital 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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2022. 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?

amount of intraoperative additional local anesthetic (time frame: 1 hour). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05528627, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Sep 2022.
