Efficacy and Safety of Liposomal Bupivacaine Under ERAS Concept for Postoperative Analgesia of Ultrasound-Guided QLB in Gynecologic Laparoscopic Patients: A Randomized, Single-blind, Active-Controlled Clinical Study

February 29, 2024 updated by: Ning Luo, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
With the development of the concept of comfortable medicine and enhanced recovery surgery (ERAS), optimizing the perioperative management of patients, reducing surgical stress, and reducing postoperative pain can effectively reduce perioperative complications and achieve the purpose of accelerating recovery. As an important part of ERAS, multimodal analgesia is the core concept of perioperative analgesia management. As a kind of perioperative multimodal analgesia, quadratus lumbar muscle block (QLB) is a type of local anesthetic drug injected around the quadratus lumbar muscle to reduce or eliminate abdominal wall pain and visceral pain after abdominal surgery. QLB has been used successfully for pain control after laparoscopic and open surgery, reducing perioperative opioid use and improving prognosis-related measures such as PONV and length of hospital stay. Bupivacaine liposomes use DepoFoam technology to encapsulate the drug in polycystic liposomes, which can prolong the release time of bupivacaine due to the different rupture times of different vesicles, and the postoperative analgesia can be up to 72 hours. In this project, patients who undergo elective laparoscopic uterine and double adnexectomy were selected to be injected with lipososomes of bupivacaine at different concentrations under ultrasound guidance of bilateral posterior QLB before anesthesia induction, and the effect of liposomal bupivacaine on postoperative pain was investigated by evaluating the postoperative pain and incidence of adverse events. This study will greatly promote the clinical promotion and application of bupivacaine liposome, improve the postoperative comfort and satisfaction of patients, and accelerate the postoperative recovery of patients.

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.

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
