CTPVB for Hepatectomy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Moderate to severe postoperative pain often influence patients quality of recovery after hepatectomy. Systemic opioids given with patient-controlled analgesia has been used after hepatectomy in many medical center, but the analgesic effect can be limited and undesirable side effects may bring about negative effects on patients recovery. Regional block has been proved to improve patients postoperative recovery in many kinds of surgeries.
The investigators therefore designed a prospective, randomized, subject and assessor blinded, parallel-group, placebo controlled study to test the hypothesis that continuous right thoracic paravertebral block increase patients quality of recovery score on the 7th postoperative day after hepatectomy in patients receiving i.v. patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with morphine.

Experimental: CTPVB with ropivocaine Continuous Paravertebral block with ropivacaine and Patient-controlled analgesia with morphine |
Procedure: Continuous Paravertebral block with ropivacaine
Inject 25 ml 0.5% ropivacaine in the T8 paravertebral space followed with catheter insertion and continuous 0.2% ropivacaine infusion(infusion rate: 0.125ml/kg/pulse,1pulse/h).
Drug: Patient-controlled analgesia with morphine
Morphine given as intravenous patient-controlled analgesia bolus: 2mg, lock time: 5min, 1h limitation: 8mg

Placebo Comparator: CTPVB with saline Continuous Paravertebral block with saline and Patient-controlled analgesia with morphine |
Procedure: Continuous Paravertebral "block" with saline
Inject 25 ml 0.9% saline in the T8 paravertebral space followed with catheter insertion and continuous 0.9% ropivacaine infusion(infusion rate: 0.125ml/kg/pulse,1pulse/h).
Drug: Patient-controlled analgesia with morphine
Morphine given as intravenous patient-controlled analgesia bolus: 2mg, lock time: 5min, 1h limitation: 8mg

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- the postoperative recovery quality on postoperative day 7 [at the 7th postoperative day]
The postoperative recovery quality is evaluated with QoR-15 questionnaire. The QoR-15 is a 15-item questionnaire intended to measure QoR after anesthesia and surgery. It comprises five subscales: pain (2 items), physical comfort (5 items), physical independence (2 items), psychological support (2 items), and emotional state (4 items) [2 Stark PA, Myles PS, Burke JA. Development and psychometric evaluation of a postoperative quality of recovery score: the QoR- 15. Anesthesiology. 2013;118(6):1332.]. Each item is scored from 0 to 10, and the possible total score ranges from 0(extremely poor quality of recovery) to 150 (excellent quality of re covery).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- the postoperative recovery quality on postoperative day 3 [at the 3th postoperative day]
QoR-15 questionnaire The postoperative recovery quality is evaluated with QoR-15 questionnaire. The QoR-15 is a 15-item questionnaire intended to measure QoR after anesthesia and surgery. It comprises five subscales: pain (2 items), physical comfort (5 items), physical independence (2 items), psychological support (2 items), and emotional state (4 items) [2 Stark PA, Myles PS, Burke JA. Development and psychometric evaluation of a postoperative quality of recovery score: the QoR- 15. Anesthesiology. 2013;118(6):1332.]. Each item is scored from 0 to 10, and the possible total score ranges from 0(extremely poor quality of recovery) to 150 (excellent quality of re covery).
- The pain scores determined by the numeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10) [At 8, 24,48 hours after the surgery]
The patients evaluated their pain severity with thenumeric rating scale (NRS, 0-10),where 0 indicates no pain, and 10 indicates the most severe pain
- cumulated morphine consumption [At 8, 24,48 hours after the surgery]
- time to resumption of bowel movement [Up to 2 weeks after surgery]
- time to out-of bed activity/ambutation [Up to 2 weeks]
- post operative length of stay [Up to 2 weeks]
