The Effect of Intraperitoneal Bupivacaine Versus Bupivacaine With Neostigmine on Pain in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Pain, Postoperative
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT04244097
Lead Sponsor
Kasr El Aini Hospital
Brief Summary

Injection of intraperitoneal bupivacaine revealed an analgesic effect whether injected alone or in combination with other adjuvants, which increase duration of analgesia and decrease the dose of administered bupivacaine thus minimizing its side effects e.g. Opioids, Corticosteroids and Magnesium sulphate.

Neostigmine, a cholinesterase inhibitor that produces muscarinic receptor-mediated analgesia, increased postoperative analgesia when combined with local anaesthetics. Peripheral afferent nerve fibres contain muscarinic receptors, these could be a good target for pain suppression.

Detailed Description

The use of neostigmine as adjuvant to intraperitoneal bupivacaine was not previously investigated. In this study the investigators will compare the analgesic effect of bupivacaine alone and bupivacaine in combination with neostigmine when injected intraperitoneal in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

• Post-operative nausea and vomiting assessed by postoperative nausea and vomiting score24 hours postoperatively

A simplified risk score for predicting postoperative nausea and vomiting female gender, history of PONV and/or motion sickness, non-smoking status, and postoperative use of opioids. When 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 factors are present, the risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting is 10%, 20%, 40%, 60%, or 80%, respectively
