Is a Combination of the Serratus Intercostal Plane Block and Rectus Sheath Block Superior to the Bilateral Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy?

ABSTRACT: Objective:The serratus intercostal plane block (SIPB) is a recently defined interfascial plane block. The oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane block (OSTAP) is another type of interfascial plane block, and it is also used as a part of multimodal analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). In this retrospective study, we evaluated the effects of the bilateral OSTAP and a combination of the right SIPB and bilateral rectus sheath block (RSB) on the postoperative pain and analgesia requirement in patients undergoing LC. Materials and Methods:Data of the patients who underwent LC between May 2018 and November 2018 were evaluated retrospectively. Postoperative pain was evaluated using the numeric rating scale (NRS), and 24-hour tramadol consumption and rescue analgesia requirements were compared. Results:Bilateral OSTAP was applied to 47 patients, and SIPB+RSB was applied to 25 patients. Postoperative pain scores were similar between the two groups. In the first 24 hours, tramadol requirement in the SIPB+RSB group was significantly lower than in the OSTAP block group (p<0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between the NRS averages at different time frames between the two block groups. Conclusion:We found that when SIPB is used as a part of multimodal analgesia in a combination with RSB in LS, it improves the quality of analgesia and decreases the analgesic requirement compared to patients undergoing a bilateral OSTAP block. Randomized controlled trials are necessary to compare the effects of SIPB alone and in a combination with other blocks in LC.

Project description:Intervention1: Rectus sheath block: A USG machine with linear array probe (5-12MHz) with an imaging depth of 4-6cm will be used for performing the block. The ultrasound probe will be placed transverse on abdomen, immediately lateral (3 cm) to umbilicus. A 20-gauge needle will be inserted in-plane in a medial to lateral orientation, through the subcutaneous tissue, to pierce through the anterior rectus sheath. Upon identification of the rectus muscle and hyperechoic twin lines deep to it (posterior rectus sheath and fascia transversalis) in the ultrasound image the needle tip will be advanced to the desired position, posterior to the rectus muscle and above the underlying posterior rectus sheath under direct vision. Following conï¬?rmation of the correct position of the needle tip with hydro dissection of the rectus muscle away from the posterior rectus by administration of 0.51ml of normal saline; 20ml of 0.25% bupivacaine will be administered for block performance. The procedure will be repeated on the opposite side. Intervention2: oblique subcostal Transversus abdominis plane block: A USG linear array probe with high- or an intermediate-frequency linear probe of 35 to 40 mm will provide adequate imaging. A needle of up to 15 to 20 cm in length , bend into a slight curve will be required , decribed by Hebbard et al .15 The operator will stand on the left side of the patient in the supine position, and both sides are blocked from this position, with the right hand holding the needle and the left hand holding the probe. To perform the block, the rectus abdominis and underlying transversus abdominis muscles will be identified near the costal margin and xyphoid. Local anesthetic is injected incrementally in the TAP (hydrodissection) by a needle passing along the obliq Primary outcome(s): â?¢To assess the analgesic efficacy of rectus sheath block. â?¢To assess the analgesic efficacy of oblique subcostal TAP block. â?¢To compare the analgesic efficacy of both blocks.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Pain has a wide spectrum of effects on the body and inadequately controlled postoperative pain may have harmful physiologic and psychological consequences and increase morbidity. In addition, opioid anesthetic agents in high doses can blunt endocrine and metabolic responses following surgery and are associated with side effects including dizziness, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and respiratory depression. OBJECTIVES:The current study aimed to investigate if unilateral ultrasound-guided transverse abdominal plane block (TAP-block) could reduce pain and postoperative use of patient requested analgesics following nephrectomy compared to local injection of the same ropivacaine dose in the surgical wound. PATIENTS AND METHODS:Retrospective chart reviews were performed in 42 consecutive patients who received TAP-block in conjunction with nephrectomy from November 2013 to August 2014 (group A). For comparison, data were used from 40 other nephrectomy patients registered as part of a previous study (group B). In this group the patients had received local ropivacaine injection in the surgical wound. On univariate analyses, the groups were compared by t-test and the Fisher exact test. Multivariate analyses were conducted by multiple linear regression. RESULTS:Mean surgical time was 162 minutes in group A and 92 minutes in group B (P < 0.0001). The means of visual analogue scale (VAS) were 3.05 and 1.55 in A and B groups, respectively (P = 0.001). The means of morphine consumption were 5.2 mg and 5.9 mg in groups A and B, respectively (P = 0.58); while the means of sufentanil use were 9.8 ?g and 6.0 ?g in groups A and B, respectively (P = 0.06). When controlling for age, tumor size and American society of anesthesiologists classification (ASA) score on multivariate analysis, TAP-block was associated with a significant increase in VAS (+1.4 [95% CI, 0.6 - 2.3], P = 0.001) and sufentanil use (+6.2 ?g [95% CI, 2.3 - 10.2], P = 0.003). There was no difference in morphine use on multivariate analysis (P = 0.99). CONCLUSIONS:TAP-block in conjunction with laparoscopic nephrectomy did not reduce pain or opioid consumption. On the contrary, it seemed to prolong surgical time.

Project description:Breast reconstruction using the free muscle-sparing transversus abdominus myocutaneous or deep inferior epigastric perforator flaps are common methods for restoring mastectomy defects for breast cancer patients. Despite its increasing popularity and safety, the abdominal donor site remains a major source of postoperative pain. Conventional postoperative pain relief protocol consists primarily of a patient-controlled anesthesia device delivering intravenous opioids. Opioids can cause numerous side effects such as sedation, headache, nausea, vomiting, breathing difficulties and bladder and bowel dysfunction. A promising approach to provide postoperative pain control of the abdominal incision is the newly developed transversus abdominis plane peripheral nerve block.This study is a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized controlled trial designed to rigorously test the effectiveness of a transversus abdominis plane catheter delivering intermittent local anesthetic in reducing postoperative abdominal pain following abdominal tissue breast reconstruction. The primary objective of this study is compare the mean total opioid consumption in the first postoperative 48 hours between the control and study groups including the patient-controlled anesthesia amounts and oral narcotic doses converted to intravenous morphine equivalent units. The secondary outcome measures include the following parameters: total in-hospital cumulative opioid consumption; daily patient-reported pain scores; total in-hospital cumulative anti-nausea consumption; nausea and sedation scores; and Quality of Recovery score; time to first bowel movement, ambulation, and duration of hospital stay.Autologous breast reconstruction using abdominal tissue is rapidly becoming the reconstructive option of choice for postmastectomy patients across North America. A substantial component of the pain experienced by patients after this abdominally based procedure is derived from the abdominal wall incision. By potentially decreasing the need for systemic opioids and their associated side effects, this transversus abdominis plane block study will utilize the most scientifically rigorous double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized controlled trial methodology to potentially improve both clinical care and health outcomes in breast cancer surgery patients.Clinicaltrials.gov NCT01398982.
