- Conditions

- Registration Number
- NCT03485625
- Lead Sponsor
- Assiut University
- Brief Summary
The study was planned to compare the effect of ketorolac 20 mg to 300 mg of paracetamol when added to lidocaine 3 mg/kg for Intravenous regional anaesthesia.
- Detailed Description
All patients were premedicated 15 minutes before the surgical procedure with I.V. 0.06mg/kg of midazolam. In the operating room, patients were monitored for non invasive blood pressure (NIBP), oxygen saturation (Spo2) and pulse rate (PR).
Two cannulae were placed, one in a vein on the dorsum of the operative hand and the other on the non operative hand for i.v fluids. The operative arm was elevated for 2 min and was then exsanguinated with an elastic bandage. A pneumatic tourniquet was then placed around the upper arm, and the cuff was inflated to 100 mm Hg above systolic BP. Circulatory isolation of the arm was verified by inspection, absence of a radial pulse, and a loss of the pulse oximetry tracing in the ipsilateral index fingers. The solutions were prepared by an anesthesiology assistant not involved in any part of the study. The solutions were injected over 90 s by an anaesthesiologist. During surgery if patient reported pain during operation (VAS 4 or greater) inj. fentanyl 1 μg/kg was given and total amount used was recorded. Postoperatively patients were questioned for pain and if VAS \> 4, 75 mg intramuscular diclofenac was given.Total amount used was recorded.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The time to first analgesic request. 1 year The time from tourniquet release until first patient request for analgesic
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method sensory block 1 year Onset of sensory block will be assessed by a pin prick performed at 1 minute interval in the dermatomal sensory distribution of the medial and lateral ante brachial cutaneous, ulnar, median and radial nerves. Sensory block onset time will be recorded as time elapsed from injection of drug to sensory block achieved in all dermatomes
motor block 1 year Onset of motor block will be assessed by asking the subject to flex and extend his/her wrist and fingers.Complete motor block will be recorded when no voluntary movement will be possible.
