About this trial

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided retro-SCTL space block and EOI block on opioid consumption within 24 hours after LSG.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • ultrasound-guided Retro superior costotransverse ligament space block

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will receive ultrasound-guided Retro superior costotransverse ligament space block after intubation. Following hydrodissection with 2 ml of 0.9% saline to confirm the correct needle tip position, 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine was injected. The same procedure was then repeated with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine on the contralateral side.

  • ultrasound-guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block

    Procedure/Surgery

    Participants will receive ultrasound-guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block after intubation.Following hydrodissection with 2 ml of 0.9% saline to confirm the correct needle tip position, 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine was injected. The same procedure was then repeated with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine on the contralateral side.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

cumulative morphine consumption within the first 24 hours.

cumulative morphine consumption within the first 24 hours.

Time frame
24 hours post operative

Secondary outcomes

1

Visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain

The VAS is a pain rating scale. Scores are based onself-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded witha single handwritten mark placed at one point along thelength of a 10-cm line that represents a continuum betweenthe two ends of the scale-"no pain" on the left end (0 cm) ofthe scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale(10 cm).Visual analogue scale (VAS) score: will be assessed at rest and during movement at 30 min, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h postoperatively. A score ≤ 3 will be considered acceptable for pain relief. Supplementary rescue analgesia will be administered in the form of morphine IV 2 mg (at VAS ≥ 4), which may be repeated after 20 minutes.

Time frame
30 minutes, 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 hours postoperatively
2

A Sedation scale

A Sedation scale will be applied to determine the sedation scores (0 = awake, 1 = drowsy, 2 = asleep but arousable, and 3 = deeply asleep). A sedation score of \> 0 indicates being sedated at any time throughout the initial postoperative 24 hours

Time frame
Initial 24 hours postoperatively
