Clinical Effectiveness of Erector Spinae Plane Block in Peri-operative Analgesia for Nephrectomy/NSS Performed Via Lumbotomy

42 patients age of 20 to 85, (ASA) physical status I-III undergoing nephrectomy/NSS procedures via lumbotomy in 1st Department of Anesthesiology in Warsaw will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be randomised into 2 groups - patients from the first group will undergo General Anesthesia (GA) with intravenous analgesia peri-operatively, patients from the second group will receive GA plus the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESP block) unilaterally performed under ultrasound guidance with catheter left on the side of surgery. Ultrasound transducer will be placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral to the Th7 spinous process. Three muscles will be identified superficial to the hyperechogenic transverse process shadow as follows: trapezius, rhomboid major, and erector spinae. An 8-cm 18-gauge block needle will be inserted in a cephalad-to-caudad direction until the tip gets in the interfascial plane between rhomboid major and erector spinae muscles, as evidenced by visualization of local anesthetic spreading in a linear pattern between erector spinae and the bony acoustic shadows of the transverse processes. . Patients in this group will be anesthetized with 20ml 0,25% bupivacaine + Adrenaline 1:200 000 via interfascial catheter. ESP block will be performed at the level of Th7-8 after proper positioning he patient in the sitting position before GA then standard technique of catheter application will be applied. After the surgery the elastomeric pump will be attached to the catheter with 0,125% bupivacaine with Adrenaline 1:200 000. Anaesthesia will be standardised In the both groups.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.

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.

Study Type

Enrollment (Anticipated)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
