Wound Catheter Vs LA Bolus in Renal Transplant: RCT
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Pain control is an important part of patients' care after a kidney transplant. Currently patients receive a one off injection of Local Anaesthetic (LA) in the wound at the end of the operation followed by Intravenous morphine through a Patient Controlled Analgesia System (PCAS), a button pressed to provide a calculated dose with lock out times for safety.
Through this study the aim to test the efficiency of Continuous Local Anaesthetic Infiltration via Wound Catheter (LAWC) which is a method to deliver Local Anaesthetic over a longer period of time after the operation. LAWC are currently in use in a variety of surgical specialities including Liver surgery. Patients participating in this study will be allocated randomly to one of 2 groupsÍž one will receive LA at the end of the operation as per current practice and one will receive LAWC. It then compare outcomes such as the the dose of morphine required in the PCAS, quality of pain control and improvement in recovery.
