No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Open Gastrectomy surgery is a big surgery with upper umbilical median incision where the postoperative pain is occur frequently. pain managements of this surgery with intravenous opioid analgesics are currently standard approach. but its side effects as sedation, decreased bowel movement and respiratory depression are limiting its use. so local anesthesia done with regional block methods provides good analgesia after surgery that decrease use of opioid analgesics. in this study we intend to compare subcostal TAP block with external oblique intercostal block

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain
  • Analgesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

subcostal TAP

SCTAP Block is performing by USG probe positioned on the anterior abdominal wall immediately inferior to the costal margin and then needle advanced to 2 to 3 cm lateral to the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscles, internal oblique muscles, and transversus abdominis in the TAP. Saline 0.5mL was injected to determine the position of the transverse fascia and 15-20 ml local anesthetics injected both in right and left sides of abdomen.

PROCEDURE

EOIPB

EOI block is performed by placing the US probe in paramedian sagittal orientation at the T6-7 level and visualizing the external oblique and intercostal muscles. Local anesthetics inject the under the external oblique muscle.
