About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia and Recovery After Off Pump Cardiac Surgery: A Randomised Trial

In this study the investigators will investigate the efficacy of ESPB as a part of Enhanced recovery after surgery on postoperative analgesia and recovery criteria after off pump cardiac surgery.

Read the detailed description

General anaesthesia will be induced by 0.05 mg/kg midazolam, 3 µg/kg fentanyl, 1-2mg/kg propofol, and 0.5mg/kg of Atracurium. After induction, bilateral erector spinae plane block will be performed in the block group. Intraoperative analgesia will be achieved by fentanyl boluses of 0.5-to-1 µg/kg titrated according to haemodynamic parameters. Postoperative analgesia will be managed by paracetamol 1000 mg /6hours and morphine 1-2mg boluses when pain score ≥4 1 to 2 mg to be repeated every 5 minutes if needed.

Being tested
Erector spinae block, Fentanyl
Medical subject headings
Pain, Postoperative

What participants receive

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

  • Erector spinae blockProcedure or surgery

    After induction, the patients will be administered bilateral Erector spinae block with 20 ml of 0.25 % bupivacaine

  • FentanylDrug

    fentanyl boluses of 0.5-to-1 µg/kg titrated according to haemodynamic parameters.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Erector spinae block and Fentanyl in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Menoufia 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 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 19 Mar 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 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?

Total intraoperative and postoperative opioid 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 19 Mar 2024.
