NCT03747406

Brief Summary

assess the efficacy of ultrasound guided erector spinae block to decrease the requirement for analgesics after laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and to decrease postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption compared to subcostal transverses abdominis block.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Cumulative opioid consumption during the first 24 h postoperatively

    measure total opioid dose in 24 hours after surgery

    24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • pain assessment by Visual Analog Scale

    24 hours after surgery

Study Arms (3)

ESP group

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient rolled to his side, the level between T9 and T10 identified using ultrasound. An 8-14 MHz curved array probe (Siemens ACUSON X300 Ultrasound System) will be applied longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral midline. The erector spinae and the psoas muscle will be identified. A skin wheal will be made using lidocaine 1% at each level and then a 22-gauge, 8 cm Tuohy needle (Perifix Epidural Needle) will be advanced inplane until contact with the transverse process. The needle will be withdrawn slightly and 30cc of bupivacaine 0.25 % (15ml for each side) will be injected slowly after negative aspiration confirmed. The same procedure will be repeated in the contralateral side.

Procedure: Erector spinae plane block

TAP group

EXPERIMENTAL

The patient in supine position. Under complete aseptic conditions, a linear array transducer 5-12 MHz (Siemens ACUSON X300 Ultrasound System) will be positioned inferior and parallel to the costal margin in a medio-lateral orientation. The external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominis muscles will be identified immediately lateral to the linea semilunaris. A a 22-gauge, 8 cm Tuohy needle (Perifix Epidural Needle) will be advanced medially and in-plane to the US beam until the tip lies between the fascia of the internal oblique muscle and the transverse abdominis muscle layers. 30 ml of 0.25 % bupivacaine will be injected in each side and the spread will be observed between the two muscles layers.

Procedure: TAP block

opioid group

NO INTERVENTION

will receive intravenous morphine with general anesthesia and total opioid consumption will be calculated

Interventions

the level between T9 and T10 will be identified using ultrasound as well as transverse processes depth. An array probe will be applied longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral midline. The erector spinae and the psoas muscle will be identified. A skin wheal will be made using lidocaine 1% at each level and then a 22-gauge Tuohy needle will be advanced inplane until it made contact with the transverse process. The needle will be withdrawn slightly and 30cc of bupivacaine 0.25 % (15ml for each side) will be injected slowly after negative aspiration was confirmed. The same procedure will be repeated in the contralateral side.
