NCT05905757

Brief Summary

In this study, dexmedetomidine and tramadol were added as adjuvant to bupivacaine in transversus abdominis plane block (TAP), intraoperative hemodynamics, opioid consumption, muscle relaxant use, postoperative analgesic effects and side effects (such as nausea-vomiting) were evaluated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • intraoperative non invasive blood pressure

    non invasive blood pressure(systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressure)

    10 minutes

    The necessary opioid (mcg) addiction was noted

    40 minutes

  • intraoperative muscle relaxant use

    The necessary muscle relaxant (mg) addiction was noted

    40 minutes

  • intraoperative heart rate

    Heart rate was noted

    5 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • postoperative analgesic effects

    0., 3., 6. hour measurements were evaluated

  • Number of participants with postoperative side effects

    0., 3., 6. hour measurements were evaluated

Study Arms (2)

Group T

EXPERIMENTAL

Group T (Adjuvant tramadol): Bilateral subcostal TAP block was performed using solutions prepared by adding 0.250% bupivacaine + 40 mL adjuvant 1.5mg/kg (maximum 100 mg) tramadol. Systolic arterial pressure (SAP), diastolic arterial pressure (DAP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), HR, SpO2 values were recorded. Demographic data of the patients \[age, weight, height, body mass index (BMI), smoking use\] and operation times were recorded. All patients were administered 1000 mg parol IV as standard analgesic before extubation. The patients were followed up for side effects (such as nausea-vomiting, chills, itching and desaturation) including drug allergies.The patients were evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 hours after the operation with a 0-10 verbal rating scale visual analog scale (VAS) and the data were recorded. In all groups, VAS˃ 4 value was evaluated in favor of analgesic need and 50 mg Dexketoprofen IV bolus was administered in accordance with conventional treatment.

Drug: Tramadol + Bupivacaine

Group D

EXPERIMENTAL

Group D (adjuvant dexmedetomidine): Bilateral subcostal TAP block was performed using solutions prepared by adding 0.250% bupivacaine + 0.5 mcg/kg and (maximum 50 mcg) dexmedetomidine. All patients were administered 1000 mg parol IV as standard analgesic before extubation. The patients were followed up for side effects (such as nausea-vomiting, chills, itching and desaturation) including drug allergies. The patients were evaluated at 0, 3 and 6 hours after the operation with a 0-10 verbal rating scale visual analog scale (VAS) and the data were recorded. VAS 0-2: no pain, 3-4: mild pain, 5-6: moderate pain, 7-8: severe pain, 9-10: excruciating pain. Additional analgesic requirement in the postoperative period was calculated by measuring VAS\>4 values. In all groups, VAS˃ 4 value was evaluated in favor of analgesic need and 50 mg Dexketoprofen IV bolus was administered in accordance with conventional treatment.

Procedure: Dexmedetomidin + bupivacaine
