Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the efficacy of ultrasonography (USG)-guided bilateral Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) with port-site infiltration using bupivacaine for post-operative analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with a hypothesis that both Erector spinae plane block and port-site infiltration are effective in providing post-operative analgesia.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Erector spinae plane block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Patients will be placed on their right side. A high-frequency linear ultrasound probe will be placed in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation 2.5-3 cm lateral to the T9 spinous process. The erector spinae muscles will be identified superficial to the tip of the T9 transverse process. A 21G 10-cm needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach in a cranial to caudal direction. The tip of the needle will be placed into the fascial plane on the deep aspect of the erector spinae muscle. The location of the needle tip will be confirmed by visible fluid spread lifting the erector spinae muscle off the bony shadow of the transverse process on ultrasonographic imaging. A volume of 20 mL of LA mixture (10 mL of bupivacaine 0.5%, 5 mL of lidocaine 2% and 5 mL of normal saline to make a mixture totaling 20 ml.) will be injected. The same procedure will be repeated for the opposite side.

Ultrasound machine (Mindray DP 9900 plus; Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics, Shenzhen, China)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Ultrasound will be used to identify the erector spinae muscles and to guide the LA mixture injection.

Bupivacaine 0.5%

Intervention Type DRUG

Bupivacaine 0.5% will be included in the injected LA mixture.

Lidocaine 2%

Intervention Type DRUG

Lidocaine 2% will be included in the injected LA mixture.

Port site infiltration technique

After the induction of anaesthesia, pre-incisional port-site infiltration will be performed by the same surgeon every time with 20 ml of Local anesthetic (LA) mixture that will be divided equally between port sites

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Port site infiltration

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

After the induction of anaesthesia, pre-incisional port-site infiltration will be performed by the same surgeon every time with 20 ml of the LA mixture. The volume will be divided equally between port sites. A total of four ports-supraumbilical, subxiphoid and two ports in the right subcostal area at mid-clavicular and anterior axillary line will be made.

Bupivacaine 0.5%

Intervention Type DRUG

Bupivacaine 0.5% will be included in the injected LA mixture.

Lidocaine 2%

Intervention Type DRUG

Lidocaine 2% will be included in the injected LA mixture.
