Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TF-TAVI) (TF-TAVI)

January 14, 2020 updated by: Liudmila Hasak, MD, PhD, Medical University of Gdansk

Pain Control With Ultrasound-guided Ilioinguinal Iliohypogastric Nerve Block Compared With Local Anesthesia Infiltration in Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TF-TAVI): a Prospective, Randomized Trial

Ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (ILIH) nerve blocks are frequently performed for analgesia in inguinal surgery.

The investigators hypothesized that preoperative ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric (ILIH) nerve blocks will produce better intraoperative analgesia and less analgesic requirement postoperatively in comparison to commonly used preoperative local infiltration anaesthesia for patients undergoing transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF-TAVI).

Detailed Description

It is a prospective, randomized trial.

The patients will be randomized to one of the 2 groups:

Group 1 - NERVE BLOCK. Ultrasound-guided ILIH nerve block will be performed by attending anaesthesiologist.

Group 2 - LOCAL INFILTRATION. Local anaesthetic infiltration of the operative area will be performed by operator.

During surgery patients will receive low-dose propofol infusion in order to achieve conscious sedation level, when indicated.

An extra dose of local anaesthetic drug for infiltration of the surgical field or intravenous fentanyl or/and intravenous paracetamol will be given as rescue analgesics in patients reporting pain sensation.

The patients will be observed for 24 hours. The pain at rest will be assessed using numeric rating scale (NRS 0 -10; 0 = no pain: 10 = max pain imaginable).

On the first postoperative day intravenous analgesics will be given on demand (paracetamol 1 g iv (if NRS <5) and oxycodone 2,5 mg iv (if NRS > or = 5)).

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
Time Frame: 24 hours
The numeric rating scale will be used to determine the intraoperative and postoperative pain intensity levels of the patients. Pain intensity is scored 0-10 (0=no pain, 10=the worst pain imaginable). The pain intensity will be measured at 5 time points intraoperatively (femoral artery cannulation, aortic valve system introduction, aortic valve system removal, vessel closure devices insertion and the end of the operation) and at 2 time intervals postoperatively (0-12 hours and 12-24 hours).
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Additional intraoperative analgesia consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours
Fentanyl and paracetamol consumption during the operation.
24 hours
Additional postoperative analgesia consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours
Oxycodone and paracetamol consumption in first 24 hours after the operation
24 hours
Patient satisfaction with analgesia
Time Frame: 3 days
Categorical quantification: Yes / No
3 days
Intraoperative and postoperative cost calculations
Time Frame: 1 year
Sum of anesthetics and analgesics administered during operation and within first 24 hours after operation
1 year
