About this study

Official title: The Role of Continuous Low Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Surgery: a Randomised Clinical Trial.

To investigate the clinical application of ultrasound-guided continuous low serratus anterior plane block in open surgery for hepatocellular carcinoma.

Read the detailed description

METHODS: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who attended our hospital from January 2021 to April 2023 were divided into CS group and N group according to the random number table method; CS group underwent ultrasound-guided continuous low anterior serratus plane block and N group underwent ultrasound-guided single anterior serratus plane block combined with rectus abdominis sheath block; the operation time, anesthesia time, incision length, sensory block time and sensory block maintenance time were counted and recorded. Pain score (NRS) was used to detect analgesia; alanine aminotransferase (ALT), liver function aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and prothrombin time (The time of thrombin, NRS) were measured by fluorescent quantitative PCR. (The time of thrombin (APTT), total bilirubin (TBIL) levels and adverse reactions.

Being tested

What participants receive

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

  • Ultrasound-guided continuous low serratus anterior plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Low anterior serratus plane block, move the mid-axillary line 4 and 5 intercostal puncture points are moved down and the puncture is changed to 7 and 8 intercostal.

  • Ultrasound-guided single serratus anterior plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Ultrasound-guided single anterior saw plane block was performed, and a needle was injected between the 4th and 5th costals in the midaxillary line.

What is being measured

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

  1. Block plane

    The effect of anesthesia after ultrasound-guided nerve block was measured using planimetry, as well as the area being anesthetized. The chest wall between T2-T9 and ice cotton balls was used to assess the extent and extent of anesthesia block.

    Measured: 30 minute after the surgery begins

  2. visual analogue scale

    The visual analogue scale (VAS) of the patient's pain was recorded 24 hours after operation.

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery

  3. visual analogue scale

    The visual analogue scale (VAS) of the patient's pain was recorded 48 hours after operation.

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery.

  4. visual analogue scale

    The visual analogue scale (VAS) of the patient's pain was recorded 36 hours after operation.

    Measured: 36 hours after surgery.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Patient satisfaction

    The patient's satisfaction with the analgesia 2 days after surgery was recorded. The analgesic effect: 1-3 as satisfactory, 4-6 as unsatisfactory, 7-10 as ineffective

    Measured: 48 hours after surgery.

  2. Remedial analgesic drug

    Whether other analgesic drugs were added within 24 hours after operation was recorded

    Measured: 24 hours after surgery.

  3. Intraoperative blood pressure changes

    Blood pressure changes were measured directly by radial artery puncture and recorded.

    The changes in blood pressure and heart rate before and after excision and the use of intraoperative opioids.

    Measured: 2 hours after the beginning of surgery.

  4. Intraoperative heart rate changes

    The curve of the change of the operative heart rate was recorded through the anesthesia machine.

    Measured: 2 hours after the beginning of surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Ultrasound-guided continuous low serratus anterior plane block and Ultrasound-guided single serratus anterior plane block in people with Liver Neoplasms and Postoperative Analgesia, run by Liu Di at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 28 Feb 2024. 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 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. 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?

Contact Jiang Fei (18283236053 ext. 1, 1277636690@qq.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Block plane (time frame: 30 minute after the surgery begins). The study lists 4 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 28 Feb 2024.
