Clinical Trial Summary

It was aimed to control pain with left-sided subcostal transversus abdominis plane block application, which is performed by applying different techniques in laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations in this study. Considering that applying technique is important in this block, the results of this study can guide practitioners in this field.


Clinical Trial Description

60 patients between 18-65 years of age with ASA I-II who were scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in the study. Patients with local anesthesia allergy, chronic use of analgesics, BMI> 35 kg/m2, psychiatric disease, kidney and/or liver dysfunction, coagulopathy and pregnancy will not be included in the study. The patients who are taken to the operating room will be recorded their first data while standard monitorization is performed. Propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 mg/kg are injected for induction and rocuronium 0.5 mg/kg is injected for muscle relaxation. Patients with adequate muscle relaxation will be intubated with an appropriate endotracheal tube and mechanical ventilation will be initiated. Sevoflurane concentration appropriate for the maintenance of anesthesia will be given in air/O2 mixture at FiO2 with a flow rate of 2 lt / min. For intraoperative analgesia, remifentanil infusion of 0.2mcg / kg / min will be infused. During the operation, arterial pressure will be maintained within the limits of 20% of the initial measurement. The mechanical ventilation parameters will be arranged at the appropriate frequency and tidal volume that make EtCO t 30-40 mmHg. After removal of the gallbladder, Tramadol 1 mg/kg and Metaclopromide 2 mg/kg iv will be administered to all patients. At the end of the operation, a right-sided subcostal transabdominal plan block will be applied to the patients by ultrasound aided. While applying subcostal transabdominal plan block, %2,5 Marcaine 20 ml will be given between transverse and rectus abdominis muscle immediately next to the linea semilunaris in a group of patients. The other group of patients received %2,5 Marcaine 5 ml between the transverse and rectus abdominis muscle, 5 ml on the transverse muscle near the semilunaris and two more 5 ml volumes lateral to this point near the subcostal margin. Patient-controlled analgesia devices with Tramadol will be prepared for postoperative analgesia. Rest and coughing pains, nausea and total PCA consumption will be recorded10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 24 hours postoperatively. Verbal Numerical Rating Scala (0 = no pain; 10 = the most severe pain you can imagine) for pain and Categorical Scoring Method (0 = none; 1 = less; 2 = too; 3 = too much) for nausea will be used. Complications such as infection, bleeding, and subcutaneous emphysema will be recorded. ;
