Nalbuphine as an Adjuvant to Local Anaesthetic Mixture in Peribulbar Cataract Surgery a Randomized Controlled Study

Nalbuphine has been used as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in intrathecal, epidural, caudal anesthesia and peripheral nerve blocks showing an increase in the efficacy and the duration of postoperative analgesia.The aim of this study is evaluation of the effect of nalbuphine when used as an adjuvant to a local anesthetic mixture in peribulbar block undergoing cataract surgery

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

44 patients (22 in each group) scheduled for elective cataract surgery using peribulbar block. Patients of Group N received local anesthetics received 6 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine 1 ml hyaluronidase (75 IU), and 4mg of Nalbuphine in 1 ml of saline (total 8 ml) and patients of Group C received 6 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine, 1 ml hyaluronidase (75 IU) and1 ml saline (total 8 ml).

Addition of nalbuphine to bupivacaine in peribulbar block is associated with reduced the time of onset of globe akinesia, increased the duration of globe akinesia and analgesia with better postoperative pain relief

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

EXPERIMENTAL: Group N

group N was received a mixture of 3 ml of 2% lidocaine, 4 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine with hyaluronidase (75IU) and 4mg of nalbuphine in 1 ml normal saline.

Nalbuphine (20mg amp.) was prepared in 0.9% sodium chloride in 5mL syringe. If the block was inadequate after 10 minutes, a 2-4 ml supplementation of local anesthetics was given by the same technique and the patient was excluded from the study
Drug: Nalbuphine

Both groups received 8 ml solution for the peribulbar block, Patients of group N was received a mixture of 3 ml of 2% lidocaine, 4 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine with hyaluronidase (75IU)(16) and 4mg of nalbuphine in 1 ml normal saline. Patients of group C was received a mixture of 3 ml of 2% lidocaine, 4 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine with hyaluronidase (75 IU) and 1 ml normal saline. Nalbuphine (20mg amp.) was prepared in 0.9% sodium chloride in 5mL syringe.

If the block was inadequate after 10 minutes, a 2-4 ml supplementation of local anesthetics was given by the same technique and the patient was excluded from the study.

After adequate analgesia (loss of sensation to touch by a small cotton wool) and akinesia, the surgeon was allowed to start the surgery
