The analgesic efficacy of the transversalis fascia plane block in iliac crest bone graft harvesting: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Iliac crest bone graft (ICBG) harvesting is associated with significant perioperative pain and opioid consumption. This randomized controlled trial sought to determine if the transversalis fascia plane (TFP) block provides effective analgesia for anterior ICBG harvesting. METHODS:Fifty patients undergoing wrist fusion surgery with anterior ICBG harvesting were randomized to receive a TFP block with either 20 ml of 0.5% ropivacaine or 5% dextrose. Patients additionally received a brachial plexus block for primary surgical-site anesthesia and either a general or spinal anesthetic depending on patient preference. Primary outcomes of interest were perioperative opioid consumption (measured as intravenous morphine equivalents [IME]), pain intensity at the ICBG harvest site for up to 48 h postoperatively, and the incidence of persistent postoperative pain at 6 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS:The TFP group used less opioid in the post-anesthetic care unit (PACU) (median 0 vs. 2.5 mg IME, P = 0.01) and in the first 8 h following PACU discharge (median 2.5 vs. 13.0 mg IME, P = 0.02). The patients who received a TFP block also had lower pain scores in PACU (median 0 vs. 4.0 out of 10, P < 0.001). Although opioid consumption and pain scores were lower in the TFP group at later timepoints, this difference was not statistically significant. Persistent pain at the ICBG site was reported in only 4.3% and 6.5% of all patients at 6 and 12 months, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The TFP block provides effective early analgesia for anterior ICBG harvesting. The incidence of persistent postoperative pain was low.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of two novel regional nerve blocks in paediatric patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after open reduction surgeries.DesignProspective, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial.Setting2 tertiary teaching hospitals in China between August 2017 and July 2018.Participants110 paediatric patients aged 2-10 years with DDH undergoing open reduction surgeries were recruited, 95 were randomised and 90 were included in the final analysis.InterventionsRandom assignment to quadratus lumborum block III (QLB III) group, transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) group and the control (no region nerve block) group.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe primary outcome was the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability (FLACC) Scale Scores. Secondary outcomes included perioperative opioid consumption, the time until first press of nurse-controlled analgesia/patient-controlled analgesia (NCA/PCA) pump and the total counts number of pressing, length of postanaesthesia care unit (PACU) stay, length of hospital stay, parental satisfaction with pain management and adverse events.ResultsMean FLACC Scores were significantly lower in QLB III group and TFPB group while in the PACU and for 48 hours postoperatively, compared with control group (p<0.0001, p<0.0001, respectively). No differences were found for FLACC Scores between QLB III group and TFPB group, neither at rest (p=0.0402) nor while posture changing (p=0.0306). TFPB prolonged the first-time request for NCA/PCA analgesia, and decreased the total number of pressing counts, compared with QLB III (22.5 (16.2 to 28.7) vs 11.7 (6.6 to 16.8), p<0.0001; 2.4 (1.3 to 3.6) vs 3.8 (2.8 to 4.8), p=0.0111, respectively). No patient experienced any adverse events.ConclusionsWe suggested that both ultrasound-guided QLB III and TFPB should be considered as an option for perioperative analgesia in children with DDH undergoing open reduction surgeries. TFPB was superior to the QLB III because it prolonged the first-time request for NCA/PCA analgesia and decreased the total counts number of pressing.Trial registration numberNCT03189966/2017.
