NCT03391531 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

TAP block is a locoregional analgesic technique that consists of infiltrating a local anesthetic solution between the muscle layers of the abdominal wall. This block produces prolonged parietal analgesia.

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether infiltration of the abdominal wall using TAP block reduces postoperative pain and postoperative analgesic consumption, and improves patient comfort after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This effect will be clinically relevant only if parietal pain predominates postoperatively.

Conditions

  • Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
  • Postoperative Analgesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Bilateral subcostal TAP block

Echo-guided infiltration of a local anesthetic solution in the plane located between the transversus abdominis muscle and the rectus abdominis muscle
