Official title: IV Sedation Plus TAP Block for Placement of Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy Tube

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Objective: To determine the effectiveness and safety of IV sedation combined with ultrasound-guided, left side transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block versus combination with local anesthetic (LA) infiltration for Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) tube placement.

Background: The procedure used to be done with general anesthesia or IV sedation with LA infiltration, but the use of IV sedation with TAP block may be another option.

Patients and Methods: This was a prospective randomized study including 60 patients, requiring long-term nutritional support, underwent the PEG procedure at the GIT endoscopy unit at our Hospital. Patients were randomly allocated into two equal groups, in group A; procedures were performed with IV midazolam and propofol-based sedation combined with ultrasound-guided, left side TAP block, while in group B; procedures were performed with IV midazolam and propofol-based sedation with LA infiltration.
