Postoperative Analgesia Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Quadratus Lumborum Block and Paravertebral Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Hepatectomy and Open Hepatectomy
Pain after hepatectomy can interfere with the patients' recovery and may contribute to developing long term pain. Opioids, e.g. morphine, fentanyl, sufentanil, works well for postoperative analgesia, but have several side effects such as nausea, vomiting and itching which may be severe enough to affect patients' recovery. In some cases, opioids may cause constipation and urinary retention within the first 24 hours after surgery. Thus, several ultrasound-guided nerve block procedures have been applied to provide postoperative analgesia. Ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is one of the most used nerve block methods using for post-hepatectomy analgesia. However, in some cases, ultrasound-guided TPVB can cause pneumothorax, hemopneumothorax, and higher block level. The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a new developed nerve block which can provide a widespread analgesic effect from T7 to L1. Therefore, this study is to determine whether QLB or TPVB have a better pain control with fewer side effects and complications after laparoscopic and open hepatectomy. The adequate pain control will be assessed by their visual analogue score (VAS) and the postoperative quality of recovery scale (QoR-15, Chinese Version). Additionally, the side effect and complications profile of these two nerve block techniques will also be recorded and compared.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | VAS | The visual analogue scale (VAS) is a psychometric response scale which can be used in questionnaires. It is a measurement instrument for subjective characteristics or attitudes that cannot be directly measured. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points. In current study visual analogue scale is be adopt to assess pain of patients. The VAS ranges from 0-10,0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain. | From 1 day before the surgery to the 2 days after surgery | |
Primary | QoR-15/Quality of Recovery Scale 15(QoR-15) | The Quality of Recovery-15 scale (QoR-15) is an easy-to-use score for assessing the quality of post-operative recovery. The QoR-15 is a 15-item questionnaire intended to measure QoR after anesthesia and surgery. It comprises five subscales: pain (n = 2), physical comfort (n = 5), physical independence (n = 2), psychological support (n = 2), and emotional state (n = 4) . Each item is scored from 0 to 10, and the possible total score ranges from 0 to 150. A higher total score means better patient QoR. | From 1 day before the surgery to the 2 days after surgery | |
Secondary | Total opioids consumption | The total amount of opioids consumed during perioperative period | From admitting in operation room to 48 hours after hepatectomy | |
Secondary | Opioids consumption during hepatectomy Intraoperative opioids consumption | Total doses of opioids consumed during the surgical procedure intraoperatively | At the end of surgical procedure | |
Secondary | Opioids consumption after hepatectomy | Opioids consumption after hepatectomy which are administrated by Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) and by physician's order | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | First request of analgesia | Time to first request of rescue analgesic drug | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Nausea | Incidence of postoperative nausea | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Vomiting | Incidence of postoperative vomiting | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Respiratory depression | Incidence of postoperative respiratory depression | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Pruritus | Incidence of postoperative pruritus | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Sedation Score | A score to evaluate patients' sedation deepness Sedation score will be assessed with 'Modified Observer's assessment of alertness/sedation (OAA/S) score'. The OAA/S Scale is composed of the following categories: (1) responsiveness, (2) speech, (3) facial expression, and (4) eyes. The OAA/S Scale can be scored in two ways: the composite score, with a range of 1 (deep sleep) to 5 (alert), in any one of the four assessment categories and the sum of the four component scores, where responsiveness has possible scores of 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5, speech has scores of 2, 3, 4 or 5, and facial expression and eyes have scores of 3, 4 or 5. | Up to 48 postoperative hrs | |
Secondary | Time to first off-bed activity | Postoperative activity | Up to discharge from hospital | |
Secondary | Lower extremity muscle strength | The muscle strength is divided into 6 levels.To observe the flexion of quadriceps. | Up to 48 postoperative hrs |
