NCT03414281

Brief Summary

This trial is a prospective, randomized, single-center, open-label, parallel-arm, blinded-analysis trial, the objective of which is to evaluate the effect of transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (TMQLB) in the pain relief and quality of recovery in laparoscopic renal surgery compared with thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • mean VAS of the first postoperative 24 hours

    VAS is an internationally recognized pain scale with 11 points ranging from 0 to 10 points, with 0 defined as no pain and 10 defined as the worst pain imaginable. The VAS will be registered at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 hours after the surgery, and the primary outcome will be calculated as the mean VAS scores measured at these time point.

    within the first 24 postoperative hours

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • cumulative morphine consumption

    at 0, 2,4, 8, 12, 24 ,48, 72hours and 7 day after the surgery

  • long-term pain control

    at 48, 72 and 7 days after the surgery

  • dermatomal distribution of sensory loss

    10, 20, 30 and 40 minutes after the intervention

  • nausea score

    at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the surgery;

  • pruritus score

    at 0, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 and 48 hours after the surgery;

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

TMQLB group 1

EXPERIMENTAL

0.4ml/kg ropivacaine is injected into the interfascial plane between the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscle using TMQLB approach.

Procedure: TMQLB group 1

TMQLB group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

0.6ml/kg ropivacaine is injected into the interfascial plane between the psoas major and quadratus lumborum muscle using TMQLB approach.

Procedure: TMQLB group 2

TPVB group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

0.4ml/kg ropivacaine is injected into the thoracic paravertebral space (T10) using TPVB approach.

Procedure: TPVB

Interventions

TMQLB group 1PROCEDURE

The patient is placed in the lateral position. The curved (C1-5) probe of Philip CX50 Ultrasound Scanner is used for scan and located vertical to the iliac crest at the posterior axillary line to find the Shamrock sign. The 22-G needle is then inserted in plane and directed to the QL muscle. After the proper position of the needle tip between the psoas major muscle and the quadratus lumborum muscle is confirmed, 0. 4 ml/kg 0.5% ropivacaine with 1: 200,000 adrenaline is injected into the interfascial plane. Followed by IPCA in the first 48h after surgery: morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.

TMQLB group 1
TMQLB group 2PROCEDURE

The patient is placed in the lateral position. The curved (C1-5) probe of Philip CX50 Ultrasound Scanner is used for scan and located vertical to the iliac crest at the posterior axillary line to find the Shamrock sign. The 22-G needle is then inserted in plane and directed to the QL muscle. After the proper position of the needle tip between the psoas major muscle and the quadratus lumborum muscle is confirmed, 0. 6 ml/kg 0.5% ropivacaine with 1: 200,000 adrenaline is injected into the interfascial plane. Followed by IPCA in the first 48h after surgery: morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.

TMQLB group 2
TPVBPROCEDURE

The patient is placed in the lateral position, the spinous processes of T10 are identified and marks are made 2cm lateral to the spinous processes. The linear(L12-3) probe of Philips CX50 is placed transversally at the mark to identify the paravertebral space. Then a 22-G needle is inserted in-plane from lateral to medial and advanced until the tip reached the paravertebral space surrounded by the parietal pleura and the superior costotransverse ligament. 0.4 ml/kg 0.5% ropivacaine with 1: 200,000 adrenaline is injected into the paravertebral space of T10. Followed by IPCA in the first 48h after surgery: morphine boluses: 1.5-2 mg, lockout time :10 min, 1h limitation: 6-8 mg morphine.
