About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block(TAP) Versus Both Subcostal and Posterior TAP Block as Postoperative Analgesia in Hepatectomy

Inadequately managed acute pain following abdominal surgery originates from somatic pain signals in the abdominal wall and is linked to various unfavorable postoperative outcomes. These consequences encompass patient distress, respiratory complications, delirium, myocardial ischemia, extended hospital stays, an elevated risk of chronic pain, heightened analgesic consumption, delayed bowel function, and an increased need for rescue analgesics.

This study aims to assess the postoperative analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block using oblique subcostal and posterior approaches in hepatectomy.

Read the detailed description

Pain control is vital to achieve enhanced recovery after abdominal surgeries . TAP block had been demonstrated to improve pain related outcomes after abdominal surgeries.

Postoperative pain management for patients undergoing hepatic resection is a challenge due to the risk of perioperative liver dysfunction.TAP block is a promising regional analgesic technique. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of US-guided subcostal approach versus combination of both subcostal and posterior approaches of TAP block

The patients will be randomly divided into two groups :

group A will recieve oblique subcostal TAP block and group B will recieve both subcostal and posterior TAP block .

Conditions
Analgesia
Being tested
ultrasound guided subcostal TAP block, ultrasound guided combined posterior and subcostal TAP block
Medical subject headings
Agnosia

What participants receive

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

  • ultrasound guided subcostal TAP blockProcedure or surgery

    patients will be randomly divided into two groups using a computer generated random number chart.

    Group A received ultrasound guided subcostal TAP block,

  • ultrasound guided combined posterior and subcostal TAP blockProcedure or surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. postoperative analgesia (VAS) during the 1st 24 hours in ICU

    Pain will be assessed on admission and at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hours at rest and with passive flexion of hip and knee joint using visual analogue scale (VAS) ranging from 0 for no pain to 10 for worst pain.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ultrasound guided subcostal TAP block and ultrasound guided combined posterior and subcostal TAP block in people with Analgesia, run by Ain Shams University.

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 1 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 30 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Ahmed El-Dolah, lecturer of Anesthesia (+20111113077, a_wagih82@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative analgesia (VAS) during the 1st 24 hours in ICU (time frame: 24 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 30 Jan 2024.
