Comparison of Postoperative Analgesia Methods in Patients Undergoing Major Intraabdominal Surgery

August 22, 2024 updated by: Marmara University
This study aims to examine the effects of M-TAPA applied for postoperative analgesia in patients who had major intraabdominal surgery on the postoperative pain score, the change in the postoperative total opioid requirement and the side effects.

Detailed Description

The investigators seperated the patients into two groups as M-TAPA applied group and control group.In group M-TAPA, M-TAPA block was performed bilaterally with 20 mL of 0.2% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance at the end of surgery. No block was performed in the control group. The participants were administered morphine through patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump with a bolus dose of 1 mg, 15 min lockout interval. The postoperative pain scores (the numeric rating scores (NRS)), total opiod consumption in the first 48 h, and opioid related side effects were recorded.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: M-Tapa + IV PCA applied group
After appropriate skin disinfection, the transversus abdominis, internal oblique and external oblique muscles were determined with a high-frequency linear probe (Esaote) at the costochondral angle in the sagittal plane under ultrasound guidance at the 10th costal border. A 21-G, 80-mm peripheral block needle was placed in the cranial direction using the in-plane technique, the needle tip did not exceed the cranial edge of the 10th costal cartilage, and 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was applied to the lower surface of the chondrium on both sides, right and left. .
M-TAPA block was performed bilaterally with 20 mL of 0.2% bupivacaine under ultrasound guidance at the end of surgery
Other: IV PCA applied group
In the IV PCA group, the surgeon performed local infiltration with 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine around the incisions. All patients were provided postoperative analgesia with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IVHKA). When pain was expressed by the patient, the patient pressed a button and the IV HKA pump was programmed to deliver a 1 ml bolus dose with a 10-minute lockout interval and no background infusion allowed. Each 1 ml of IVHKA solution contains 1 mg of morphine.
