The Relationship Between NLR and PONV and ESPB

Phase 1
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Erector Spinae Plane Block
Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio
Interventions
Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane Block
Procedure: 0.9% physiological saline (20ml) injection under ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB).
Registration Number
NCT06127966
Lead Sponsor
Qianfoshan Hospital
Brief Summary

This study aims to investigate whether preoperative NLR (Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio) serves as a biomarker for PONV (Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting). It also examines the impact of erector spinae plane block on NLR and PONV. Furthermore, the research explores the effect of erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain relief in spinal surgery and its influence on the usage of opioid medications.

Control group(CA group + CB group)0.9% physiological saline (20ml) injection under ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB).Conventional anesthesia induction, followed by ultrasound-guided injection of 0.9% saline (20 ml) into the erector spinae plane (ESPB) after anesthesia induction.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Record the need for antiemetic medication within the PACU and during the first 24 hours and the second 24 hours postoperatively.Within the first 24 hours and the second 24 hours after surgery.

Record the need for antiemetic medication within the PACU and during the first 24 hours and the second 24 hours postoperatively.

Record the neutrophil count and lymphocyte count on the first day after surgery and calculate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR)Within the first 24 hours.

The neutrophil count and lymphocyte count and calculate the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR).

Record nausea and vomiting within the PACU and during the first 24 hours and second 24 hours after surgery.Within the first 24 hours and the second 24 hours after surgery.

Patients with a nausea and vomiting score of 1 point or above (0 points = no nausea, 1 point = nausea, 2 points = dry heaving, 3 points = vomiting) are treated with ondansetron as an antiemetic.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Document the occurrence rate of opioid-related side effects such as dizziness and urinary retention.Within 1 week

Document the occurrence rate of opioid-related side effects such as dizziness and urinary retention.

Overall VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain scores at 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours postoperatively during rest and movement.At 2 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, and 48 hours after surgery

VAS scoring criteria, also known as pain level scoring criteria, use a visual analog method to assess the severity of pain.The VAS (Visual Analog Scale) rating ranges from 0 to 10, with a VAS score of 0 indicating no pain. Scores of 1-3 represent mild pain (pain does not affect sleep), 4-6 indicate moderate pain (pain disrupts sleep), 7-9 correspond to severe pain (unable to fall asleep or waking up due to pain, or unable to sleep), and a score of 10 signifies excruciating pain. The higher the score, the more severe the pain.

Record the satisfaction scores for pain management at 24 and 48 hours.Within the first 24 hours and the second 24 hours after surgery

Patient satisfaction score refers to the postoperative satisfaction level of the patient, with 0 points indicating dissatisfaction, 1 point indicating fair, 2 points indicating satisfaction, and 3 points indicating very satisfied. The higher the score, the more satisfied the patient is with the treatment outcome.
