Preemptive Analgesic Effects of Rectus Sheath Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Patients

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Preemptive Peripheral Nerve Block
Pain, Postoperative
Acute Pain
Interventions
Drug: Ultrasound guided Rectus sheath block
Drug: Intercostal nerve block
Registration Number
NCT03413280
Lead Sponsor
Asan Medical Center
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of preemptive effect of rectus sheath block (RSB) and intercostal nerve block (ICNB) on postoperative visceral pain in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LLC).

After induction of general anesthesia, group of patient is decided randomly. In Group pre, RSB and ICNB are performed with 0.25% Ropivacaine 40ml before the operation. In Group post, RSB and ICNB are performed with 0.25% Ropivacaine 40ml after the operation.

Measure the NRS and compare the rescue analgesic dose used at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, and 24 hours after arrival at the recovery room.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Difference of analgesic consumption between both groupat 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, 24 hours after operation

The difference in analgesics usage between the two groups after the operation is checked at fixed intervals (at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, 24 hours after operation) to compare.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
compare the Numeric rating scale (NRS)at 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, 24 hours after operation

The Numeric Rating Scale (NRS-11) is an 11-point scale for patient self-reporting of pain. It is for adults and children 10 years old or older.

0: No pain, 1-3: mild pain, 4-6: Moderate pain, 7-10: severe pain, 10: worst pain imaginable.

After surgery, the NRS differences between the two groups were compared at a constant interval (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, 24 hours postoperatively).
