About this study

Official title: Efficacy of Ultrasound - Guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block for Patients Undergoing Upper Abdominal Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Ithe study will evaluate the analgesic efficacy of external oblique intercostal block for patients undergoing upper abdominal surgeries

Read the detailed description

Patients will be randomly divided into two equal groups using SPSS. Group A: will receive US-guided external oblique intercostal block after induction Group B: will receive postoperative morphine on patient request. Study design: prospective controlled randomized study.

Being tested
US-guided external oblique intercostal block
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • US-guided external oblique intercostal blockOther

    After induction of general anesthesia, external oblique intercostal block will be performed (8) under ultrasonographic guidance with transportable ultrasound device ( Sonosite ,superficial probe ,14-15 MHz).

    the patient will be positioned supine, and a linear ultrasound transducer will be placed in the sagittal plane between the midclavicular and anterior axillary lines at the level of sixth rib. 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected between the plane of the external oblique and the intercostal muscles. The drug will be injected after a negative aspiration.

    The contralateral side block will be performed in a same manner.

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual analogue pain scale .

    postoperative pain that evaluated by visual analogue pain scale(a scale from 0 to 10 where 0 is interpreted as no pain, 1-4 mild pain, 5-6 moderate pain, 7-10 severe pain)

    Measured: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. total perioperative analgesics requirements

    Milligram

    Measured: 24 hours
