No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study,will evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided subcostal oblique TAP block together with IV infusion of Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl as a type of multimodal analgesic regimen in comparison with IV fentanyl based analgesia only in live liver donors.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia

Interventions

DRUG

Fentanyl infusion

After induction of general anesthesia; Fentanyl infusion (0.5 µg/kg/hr) will be started (which will be afterwards adjusted intraoperatively according to the hemodynamics and Bispectral Index (BIS) reading).

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound guided TAP block

After induction of general anesthesia; Patients will receive ultrasound guided subcostal oblique TAP block with 0.25 % bupivacaine 40 ml on each side resulting in a total volume of 80 ml, subcostal TAP block was given twice, at the beginning and at the end of the surgery.

DRUG

Dexmedetomidine

Dexmedetomidine (200 µg in 2 ml diluted in 48 ml of saline) will be started in a dose of 1 μg/kg over 10 min then maintenance dose as continuous infusion between 0.2 and 0.8 μg/ kg/h through infusion pump (which will be adjusted according to the hemodynamics and BIS reading)
