NCT04241887

Brief Summary

Percutaneus radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors causes acute pain during the periooperative setting. In order to facilitate tumor access, patient should collaborate with a surgeon during the procedurę, therefore should be conscious. This study aims to assess the impact of a single shot thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) on a patient's haemodynamic stability, patient's and operator's comfort and satisfaction during the operation and analgesia in the post-operative period.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Effectiveness of PVB on pain intensity

    The level of pain will be assessed in all groups (PVB and BB) basing on the NRS scale (NRS 0- no pain, NRS 10 - the worst pain imaginable) Self reported pain intensity in 5 time points based on the numerical rating scale NRS (where 0 is no pain, 10 is the strongest pain). comparison of analgesic drug use in both groups

    NRS during the procedure and 0,1,3,6,24 hours post surgery

  • Effectiveness of PVB on pain intensity

    The level of pain will be assessed in all groups (PVB and BB) basing on analgesic drugs consumption

    0,1,3,6,24 hours post surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Patients' satisfaction

    24 hours post surgery

  • Surgeon's satisfaction

    0 h post surgery (immediately after surgery)

Study Arms (2)

group PVB

EXPERIMENTAL

standard analgosedation + paravertebral thoracic blockade with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine (Bupivacainum hydrochloricum WZF 0,5%, Polfa warszawa S.A.)

Procedure: thoracic paravertebral blockade

group BB

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

standard analgosedation + local anesthesia of the skin and subcutaneous tissue with 5ml 0,5% lignocaine (Lignocainum hydrochlorici, WZF 1%).

Procedure: local anaesthesia

Interventions

Anesthesia was performed under the ultrasound guidance: the Th8 spinous process was identified, then a probe was moved lateral to medial until two adjacent transverse processes and the pleura were visible. After anaesthetising the skin with 2ml of 1% lignocaine (Lignocainum hydrochlorici, WZF 1%), the Touhy needle 22G (Smith Medical)was introduced under the real time guidance. Once in the paravertebral space, 20ml of 0,25% bupivacaine (Bupivacainum hydrochloricum WZF 0,5%, Polfa Warsaw SA) was injected with an end point of a characteristic pleural displacement.

group PVB

Local infiltration anaesthesia with 0.5% lignocaine 5ml (Lignocainum hydrochlorici, WZF 1%) was applied to the skin and the potential needle path of ablation.

group BB

Model Details: 30 patients scheduled for an elective Percutaneus Radiofrequency Ablation (PRFA) of a hepatocellular carcinoma were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided in 2 groups: * group PVB - 15 patients under paravertebral block anaesthesia * group BB - 15 patients under local anesthesia, without paravertebral block.
