Bilateral External Oblique Intercostal Plane Bock (EOIPB) in Upper Abdominal Surgeries

NCT07055438 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 40

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The current study is designed to investigate the analgesic potentials of two modalities of abdominal blocks where local anesthetics is injected in the fascial planes of the abdominal muscles to anesthetize the nerves supplying the abdomen in patients undergoing upper abdomial surgeries.

the two modalities are the rectus sheath block (RSB) and the external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB). The investigators are going to use the ultrasound to identify the muscles and inject the local anesthetics. The investigators suggest that the EOIPB might provide better pain control when compared to RSB.

Conditions

  • Post Operative Analgesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Ultrasound guided Rectus sheath block

After receiving general anesthesia, bilateral ultrasound guided rectus sheath block with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side will be administered to 20 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgeries namely whipple operation and total gastrectomy

PROCEDURE

ultrasound guided external oblique intercostal plane block

After receiving general anesthesia, bilateral ultrasound guided external oblique intercostal plane block with 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side will be administered to 20 patients undergoing upper abdominal surgeries namely whipple operation and total gastrectomy
