NCT05416866

Brief Summary

Our hypothesis was that transversus abdominis plane block plus retrolaminar block would reduce postoperative sufentanil consumption and provide superior analgesia compared with transversus abdominis plane block plus quadratus lumborum block for laparoscopic colorectal surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • the cumulative consumption of sufentanil

    the outcome in micrograms

    24 hours after nerves block

Secondary Outcomes (11)

  • the patient's mean arterial pressure (MAP), HR at rest and during movement at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 18, 24 after nerves block

    the time for completion of nerves block was time 0

  • cumulative sufentanil consumption at predetermined time intervals

    within 24 hour after nerves block

  • time until the earliest single patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) dose of sufentanil

    within 24 hour after nerves block

  • the number of PCA press

    within 24 hour after nerves block

  • time until the earliest rescue analgesia and antiemetic

    within 24 hour after nerves block

  • +6 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

TR group

EXPERIMENTAL

ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block with 20 ml mixture 0.20% ropivacaine + dexamethasone 5 mg and retrolaminar block with 30-40 ml mixture 0.20% ropivacaine + dexamethasone 5 mg

Procedure: Retrolaminar block on the operative sideProcedure: Transversus abdominis plane block on the nonoperative side

TQ group

EXPERIMENTAL

ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block with 20 ml mixture 0.20% ropivacaine + dexamethasone 5 mg and quadratus lumborum block with 30 ml mixture 0.20% ropivacaine + dexamethasone 5 mg

Procedure: Quadratus lumborum block on the operative sideProcedure: Transversus abdominis plane block on the nonoperative side

Interventions

After the skin near the puncture site was disinfected, 2ml of 1% lidocaine was injected into the puncture site for local infiltration. The needle was inserted beneath the ultrasound probe using an in-plane orientation to contact the lamina of the T8-T11 vertebra. Then we retracted the tip of needle to the lamina about 1 mm and withdrew to make sure that there was no blood or cerebrospinal fluid. Then, 30-40 mL mixture was injected posterior to the lamina of T8-T11.

TR group

In our study, we applied a transmuscular approach to the QLB. After the patients were placed in the lateral position, the skin near the puncture site was disinfected, a low-frequency (3-5 MHz), curvilinear probe is used and is located vertical to the iliac crest at the posterior axillary line to find the Shamrock sign. After the local infiltration for puncture site, 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 QL muscle is confirmed, 30 ml mixture is injected into the interfascial plane.

TQ group

After placing the patients in the supine position, the skin was disinfected. A linear probe was placed in the transverse plane at the midaxillary line between the lower costal margin and iliac crest. When the external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis muscles were observed, 2ml of 1% lidocaine was injected into the puncture site for local infiltration.Then, a 22-gauge, 80-mm needle was advanced using an in-plane technique in an anteromedial to posterolateral direction toward the TAP (the fascial plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles). After the correct position of the needle tip was verified, 20 ml mixture was injected into the TAP. The ultrasound showed that the local anesthetic separated the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles, confirming the success of the block.

Except the regional anesthesiologist who performed the blocks, patients, surgeons, theatre anesthesiologists, ward staff, caregivers, and the outcome assessor were unaware of group allocation. The regional anesthesiologist was not involved in the other parts of the study. All data was collected by personnel blinded to the patient group allocation.
