Perioperative Analgesia by ESP Catheter on Recipient for Liver Transplantation (ESPLIVERRec)

August 15, 2023 updated by: Vinmec Healthcare System

Does Bilateral Continuous Peri Operative Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block Improve the Enhanced Recovery Program After Liver Transplantation in Recipient Patient

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) programs were developed by Prof Henrik Kehlet in Denmark to reduce the hospitalization and improve the surgical outcomes. In these programs pain relief by regional analgesia techniques are highly recommended to reduced as much as possible the opioids used with their side effects. This program was created for colo-rectal surgeries and extended to other surgeries. In Liver transplants different programs has been described top reduce the use of peri-operative opioids but no with the ESP Animal and molecular studies in chronic pain showed the activation of glial cells, Monocytes and lymphocite K similar to the reaction during severe septis with immune reaction and toll like receptor activation. Regional anaesthesia analgesia is blocking this activation of Tool Like Receptors (TLR4) One of the discharge criteria after liver transplantation is the equilibrium of plasmatic cyclosporin Our hypothesis is with regional analgesia to avoid any immune disorder due to pain and reach earlier the discharge criteria than with standard analgesia Improve the quality of recovery and reduce the hospitalization stay after liver transplantation

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

  1. Goals:

    Compare quality of analgesia and quality of recovery between bilateral ESP bilateral catheters versus Opioid analgesia in adult included in an enhanced recovery program after liver transplantation Show that the addition of peri-operative regional analgesia improves the enhanced recovery program after open liver transplant in recipient patient .

  2. Methodology:

    •Selection criteria: Age > 18 years old Have a clinical indication for Liver transplantation ( list for surgeries listed in full proposal) Agree to participate in the trial

    •Exclusion criteria: Use of chronic opioid Contra-indication tom perform ESP catheter (Infection near puncture point, Severe thoracic scoliosis, allergy to local anaesthetics) A diagnosis of a chronic pain condition Depression or other psychiatric diagnosis

    • Study design: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.

    Patients who agree to join the study will be randomized into 2 groups:

    Group 1 (Control group): standard of care in Liver donation : Intra operative analgesia by Opioid Sufentanil and post operative analgesia by Patient Controlled analgesia (PCA) opioid morphine Group 2 (treatment group): Standard peri-operative analgesia for Liver donation in our hospital since we use regional anaesthesia as first line treatment for peri operative analgesia Bilateral ESP catheters with continuous regional analgesia by infusion of local anaesthetic (Ropivacaine)

    Sample size: We expected to reduce the length of stay for liver receipt from 11 ± 2.22 days in ERAS group to 8 ± 2.22 days in the ESP group The sample size of 10 patients per group is required to detect such changes assuming a confidence interval of 95% with a power of 90% and alpha = 0.05. Considering 20% of drop-out, the total sample size is 40 patients (20 patients each group)

  3. Project outcomes:

    • Primary outcomes Length of stay in Hospital Our estimation based on our previous studies for ESP and the literature for ERAS programs in open heart surgeries
    • Secondary outcomes Time to extubation Duration of stay in ICU Time to 1st mobilisation Opioid consumption in relation with VAS Rest and mobilization

Patient satisfaction:

  • Quality of recovery scoring 15 items (QOR 15)
  • Pain at 1 month rest and mobilization + Quality of Life scoring (QOL36)

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 to 65 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers
