About this study

Official title: Intraoperative and Postoperative Effects of Adjuvant Dexmedetomidine and Tramadol in Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plan Block

In this study, dexmedetomidine and tramadol were added as adjuvant to bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block (TAP), intraoperative hemodynamics, opioid consumption, muscle relaxant use, postoperative analgesic effects and side effects (such as nausea-vomiting) were evaluated.

Read the detailed description

The study was carried out with 60 ASA I-II class participants aged 20-60 years who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at Van Yuzuncu Yıl University Faculty of Medicine. Preoperative evaluation was made before the operation, routine laboratory analyzes were taken, the participants were informed about the study, and their written consent was obtained. Participants were randomized into two groups.

  • Group T (Adjuvant Tramadol): 40 mL of 0.250% bupivacaine + 1.5mg/kg and a maximum of 100 mg tramadol adjuvant
  • Group D (Adjuvant Dexmedetomidine): 40 mL of 0.250% bupivacaine + 0.5 mcg/kg and a maximum of 50 mcg dexmedetomidine adjuvant Standard general anesthesia was applied. After intubation, bilateral subcostal TAP block was performed by the same anesthesiologist, demographic data were recorded. Intraoperative vital signs of the participants (pulse, non-invasive blood pressure and peripheral oxygen saturation measurement), additional opioid and muscle relaxant needs, and complications were recorded. Extubation was performed after standard decurarization with atropine and neostigmine. Postoperative side effects (nausea, vomiting, pruritus, shivering), postoperative additional analgesic need, and 0 hour (Modified aldrete score ≥9 time was accepted as 0 hour), 3rd hour and 6th hour Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were evaluated and recorded.

Study groups in NCT05905757
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group TExperimentalGroup T (Adjuvant tramadol): Bilateral subcostal TAP block was performed using solutions prepared by adding 0.250% bupivacaine + 40 mL adjuvant 1.5mg/kg (maximum 100 mg) tramadol. Systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), HR, SpO2 values were recorded. Demographic data of the patients [age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), smoking use] and operation times were recorded. All patients were administered 1000 mg parol IV as standard analgesic before extubation. The patients were followed up for side effects (such as nausea-vomiting, chills, itching and desaturation) including drug allergies.The patients were evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 hours after the operation with a 0-10 verbal rating scale visual analog scale (VAS) and the data were recorded. In all groups, VAS˃ 4 value was evaluated in favor of analgesic need and 50 mg Dexketoprofen IV bolus was administered in accordance with conventional treatment.
Receives: Drug: Tramadol + Bupivacaine
Group DExperimentalGroup D (adjuvant dexmedetomidine): Bilateral subcostal TAP block was performed using solutions prepared by adding 0.250% bupivacaine + 0.5 mcg/kg and (maximum 50 mcg) dexmedetomidine. All patients were administered 1000 mg parol IV as standard analgesic before extubation. The patients were followed up for side effects (such as nausea-vomiting, chills, itching and desaturation) including drug allergies. The patients were evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 hours after the operation with a 0-10 verbal rating scale visual analog scale (VAS) and the data were recorded. VAS 0-2: no pain, 3-4: mild pain, 5-6: moderate pain, 7-8: severe pain, 9-10: excruciating pain. Additional analgesic requirement in the postoperative period was calculated by measuring VAS>4 values. In all groups, VAS˃ 4 value was evaluated in favor of analgesic need and 50 mg Dexketoprofen IV bolus was administered in accordance with conventional treatment.
Receives: Procedure: Dexmedetomidin + bupivacaine

What is being measured

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

  1. intraoperative non invasive blood pressure

    non invasive blood pressure(systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure)

    Measured: 10 minutes

  2. intraoperative opioid consumption

    The necessary opioid (mcg) addiction was noted

    Measured: 40 minutes

  3. intraoperative muscle relaxant use

    The necessary muscle relaxant (mg) addiction was noted

    Measured: 40 minutes

  4. intraoperative heart rate

    Heart rate was noted

    Measured: 5 minutes

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. postoperative analgesic effects

    Visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were noted.pointed between 0-10. 0:No pain, 5-6-7:medium pain, 9-10:unbearable pain

    Measured: 0., 3., 6. hour measurements were evaluated

  2. Number of participants with postoperative side effects

    nausea, vomiting, chills. Patients with these effects were noted. Evaluated by the number of people

    Measured: 0., 3., 6. hour measurements were evaluated

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Dexmedetomidin + bupivacaine and Tramadol + Bupivacaine in people with Transversus Abdominis Plane Block, run by Yuzuncu Yil University 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 4 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

intraoperative non invasive blood pressure (time frame: 10 minutes). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05905757, 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?
