About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Sacral Erector Spina Plane Block as a Main Anesthetic Method: Single Center Experience

The goal of this retrospective observational study is to demonstrate investigators' experience of Ultrasound guided Sacral Erector Spina Plane Block as an anesthetic technique in patients underwent sacral plastic and reconstructive surgeries.

The main question[s] it aims to answer are:

  • block indication, level
  • results, side effects and complications
Read the detailed description

Erector Spina Plane Block is an interfascial plane block that is performed by injecting the local anesthetic solution between transverse process of the vertebra and erector spina muscle. It is found to be an inexpensive,easily applied, effective and safe technique for chronic pain.(1) Ultrasound guided Erector Spina Plane Block(ESP) is getting more and more widely used for analgesia and as an anesthetic technique.(2,3) Regional anesthesia techniques provide safer, more stable and advantageous anesthetic management, especially in high-risk patients. Ultrasound guided Sacral ESP is described by Tulgar et all.in 2019 and can be used either for analgesia or as an anesthetic technique. (4) In this retrospective study investigators planed to demonstrate one year of experience of this block for sacral plastic and reconstructive surgery. Demographic data of patients who underwent sacral surgery with sacral ESP block, indication of block, level of block, drug dose concentration, effect, side effect and results that were recorded will be analyzed.

What is being measured

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

  1. Block success

    Effectiveness of Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block as an Anesthetic technique

    Measured: up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number and amount of required perioperative analgesic/anesthetic drugs

    The number and amount of drugs administered will be determined from the anesthesia file records when the patient feels pain or shows dissatisfaction with anesthesia.

    Measured: up to 2 hours

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?

Block success (time frame: up to 1 year). 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 NCT05674006, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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.
