  • Assess the safety of the c-TAP Block gesture in terms of trauma to the intraperitoneal organs by the injection needle two groups:
  • Arm A : c-TAP Block performed by the surgeon
  • Arm B : us-TAP Block performed by the anesthesist under ultrasound control

Schedule :

  • Inclusions start at: 16/09/2019
  • End date of inclusions: 31/03/2022

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Experimental: Arm A : c-TAP Block performed by surgeon
c-TAP Block Block performed by surgeon
Procedure: laparoscopy or laparotomy withTransversusAbdominis Plane Block

The US-TAP is performed by the anesthetist under ultrasound control after the end of the procedure of laparoscopy or laparotomy. Under sterile conditions, the anesthetist identifies the oblique abdominal muscles externally, obliquely internally and transversely by ultrasound. A 20 ml needle of 0.5% ropivacaine is injected.

The surgical TAP (c-TAP) block is performed by the surgeon at the end of the procedure of laparoscopy or laparotomy.The needle and the product used are identical to those of the us-TAP block. The positioning of the needle is in the plane of the fascia between the internal oblique muscle and the transverse muscle, identified by a significant loss of resistance.
Active Comparator: Arm B : us-TAP Block performed by anesthetist
us-TAP Block by anesthetist
Procedure: laparoscopy or laparotomy withTransversusAbdominis Plane Block

Under sterile conditions, the anesthetist identifies the oblique abdominal muscles externally, obliquely internally and transversely by ultrasound. A 20 ml needle of 0.5% ropivacaine is injected.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evolution pain intensity scores, assessed by the numerical pain scale (EN), postoperative and need for systemic analgesics (intravenously or by mouth) during the 24 hours following the end of the procedure
Time Frame: 24 hours
Evolution pain intensity scores, assessed by the numerical pain scale (EN 1 up to 10)
24 hours

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Failure rate in the obese and / or malnourished patient subgroup
Time Frame: 24 hours
The failure will be defined as follows: a pain evaluated at> 4/10 on EN that requires intravenous or systemic analgesia
24 hours
Time in minutes of each of the TAP Block techniques
Time Frame: 24 hours
The time will be quantified with a stopwatch. For the c-TAP, the stopwatch will be started as soon as the injection equipment of the locoregional anesthesia is received. For the us-TAP block, the stopwatch will be started after the end of the surgical procedure and as soon as the anesthetist starts to wash his hands to proceed with the injection
24 hours
Occurrence of trauma to the intra-abdominal organs caused by the injection needle
Time Frame: 24 hours
number of traumas that have occurred
24 hours
