Opioid Free Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this interventional study is to check the efficacy of Erector Spinae block as Opioid Free Anesthesia for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is a commonly performed day care procedure. Being a day care procedure the anesthetic technique employed should provide adequate analgesia, allow early mobilization of patient and should mitigate nausea and vomiting which occurs quite frequently in this surgical population. If these goals are achieved patients can be discharged early from hospital setting and this leads to overall cost benefits.

Clinical Trial Description

One of the commonest presentations to surgical department is the abdominal pain caused by gall stones. The procedure of choice for treatment of cholelithiasis is Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy; a day care surgical procedure. This is performed under General Anesthesia with Endotracheal tube. During the surgery, anesthetist provides multi-modal analgesia in the form of opioids, NSAIDs and paracetamol. The commonly used Opioids in our setting include Morphine, Fentanyl and Nalbuphine. Opioids provides excellent analgesia but are associated with a number of side effects such as sedation, euphoria or dysphoria, respiratory depression, nausea, vomiting and increase in smooth muscle tone of the gut. These side effects can significantly impair the recovery in post-operative period, leading to prolong hospital stay. As a result opioid free anesthesia could be a suitable alternative to conventional opioid anesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy. By avoiding the adverse effects of opioids; Opioid free anesthesia can lead to early recovery and discharge from the hospital. One way to provide opioid free anesthesia is by utilizing loco-regional techniques. One of the loco-regional technique which has shown some benefit in laparoscopic cholecystectomy is erector spinae block. However in the available literature the block was utilized for providing post-operative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This Randomized Control Trial will check the efficacy of Erector Spinae Block in providing intra-operative as well as post operative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
