NCT02753361

Brief Summary

There is limited information on using the ultrasonography for block placement concerning lipoma excision. A new type of regional blockade, performed under ultrasound, can ensure proper block placement with accurate local anesthetics deposition. Investigators hypothesized that ultrasound guidance can reduce the number of needle passes to complete the block placement. Investigators will compare namely ultrasound guided regional blockade and traditional method regarding the number of needle passes to complete the block placement.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The number of needle attempts needed to complete the block placement. New attempt will be defined as needle reinsertions through separate skin puncture.

    10 - 20 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The block success rate

    20 minutes

  • The incidence of adverse events

    8 hours postoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Traditional

NO INTERVENTION

This will utilize the traditional method of performance of regional block

US-guided

EXPERIMENTAL

In this arm, regional block will be performed under the ultrasound guidance

Procedure: Ultrasound guidance

Interventions

In the second arm, ultrasound will be used to guide the regional block

US-guided
