简要总结
Ultrasound (US)-guided transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) has demonstrated favourable results in lower abdominal surgery. Literature about its efficacy in breast reconstruction surgery with transversus rectus abdominis myocutaneous (TRAM) flap is still scarce.
In the current study investigators pretend to evaluate the efficacy of US-guided bilateral TAP block for unilateral breast reconstruction using autologous abdominal graft in women with breast cancer's history.
详细描述
The investigators led a prospective observational study in patients/participants scheduled to unilateral breast reconstruction surgery with TRAM flap (UBR TRAM) or partial/total or totalization mastectomy followed by TRAM reconstruction (M + UBR TRAM). Participants' anesthetic plan was general balanced anesthesia (GBA) or general balanced anesthesia combined with bilateral TAP block (GBA + TAP).
The anesthetic plan was adopted by the anaesthetist assigned to the operating room on surgery's day. Then, two groups were considered for the study: group submitted to GBA and another submitted to GBA + TAP. Anaesthetic information about intra-operative date was consulted. Investigators included patients subjected to general anesthesia with orotracheal intubation. Intravenous (IV) bolus of fentanyl were administered at anesthetic induction and according to analgesic needs. In patients whose anesthetic plan included TAP block investigators considered cases that it was performed after anesthetic induction before surgical incision. TAP block was performed according to Anesthesiology's Department. After aspiration, a volume of 20 mL ropivacaine 0.375% was administered, bilaterally. Investigators didn´t consider for the study participants whose systemic postoperative analgesic protocol wasn't that adopted by Anesthesiology Department for this kind of surgery.
It was evaluated:
- Intraoperative period: fentanyl consumption (mg/kg), antiemetic prophylaxis and anesthesia duration;
- Post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU): consumed opioids, total score and score relative to consciousness, at admission and discharge, pain assessment, at admission and discharge and nausea and vomiting incidence and stay's length
- After discharge of PACU until 4 hours after surgery's end and between 4th until 24th postoperative hour: morphine consumption, pain assessment, nausea and vomiting incidence and other complications.

结局指标
主要结局
Fentanyl consumed/administered during intraoperative time
时间窗: Investigators recorded this variable for each participant since the date of start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).
Based on anaesthesia records, fentanyl administered during intraoperative time was calculated in milligrams per kilogram for each participant.
Morphine consumed/administered during post-anaesthesia care unit stay
时间窗: Investigators recorded this variable for each participant since the start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).
Based on post-anaesthesia care unit records, quantity, in milligrams, of supplemental morphine administered to each participant was recorded.
次要结局
- Pain's assessment at rest and on movement(Investigators recorded these variables for each participant since the start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).)
- Recovery score, at admission and discharge from post-anaesthesia care unit, according to post-anaesthesia care unit's discharge criteria(Investigators recorded these variables for each participant since the start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).)
- Nausea and vomiting incidence(Investigators recorded these variables for each participant since the start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).)
- Morphine consumed/administered after discharge from post-anaesthesia care unit discharge until 24 hours since surgery's end(Investigators recorded this variable for each participant since the start of the study until its end (since April 2015 until June 2017, 2 years and 2 months). Outcome was globally evaluated for each cohort at the end of the study (June 2017).)
