ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a widely used anesthetic technique of the abdominal wall, where ultrasound guidance is considered the gold standard. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic-assisted TAP (LTAP) block with ultrasound-assisted TAP (UTAP) block for post-operative pain, nausea, vomiting, duration of the block, and bowel function. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

This study included 60 patients who were randomly assigned to two groups to undergo either the LTAP or UTAP block technique after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The time taken for administering the block, post-operative nausea and vomiting, post-operative pain, respiratory rate, bowel movements, and analgesia requirements were reported.

RESULTS:

The time taken for the LTAP block was shorter (p < 0.001). Post-operative mean tramadol consumption, paracetamol consumption, and analgesic requirement were comparable between the two groups (p = 0.76, p = 0.513, and p = 0.26, respectively). The visual analog scale at 6, 24, and 48 h was statistically not significant (p = 0.632, p = 0.802, and p = 0.173, respectively). Nausea with vomiting and the necessity of an antiemetic medication was lower in the UTAP group (p = 0.004 and p = 0.009, respectively).

CONCLUSION:

The LTAP block is an easy and fast technique to perform in patients as an alternative method where ultrasound guidance or an anesthesiologist is not available.
RESUMEN
ANTECEDENTES El bloqueo del plano transverso del abdomen (TAP) es una técnica anestésica de la pared abdominal ampliamente utilizada, en la cual la guía ecográfica se considera el método de referencia.

OBJETIVO:

Comparar la efectividad del bloqueo TAP asistido por laparoscopia (LTAP) con el bloqueo TAP asistido por ultrasonido (UTAP) para el dolor posoperatorio, las náuseas y los vómitos, y la función intestinal.

MÉTODO:

El estudio incluyó 60 pacientes que fueron asignados aleatoriamente a dos grupos para someterse a la técnica de bloqueo LTAP o UTAP después de una colecistectomía laparoscópica. Se informaron el tiempo de administración del bloqueo, las náuseas y los vómitos posoperatorios, el dolor posoperatorio, la frecuencia respiratoria, las evacuaciones y los requerimientos de analgesia.

RESULTADOS:

El tiempo de bloqueo LTAP fue menor (p < 0.001). El consumo medio de tramadol, el consumo de paracetamol y el requerimiento de analgésicos posoperatorios fueron comparables entre los dos grupos (p = 0.76, p = 0.513 y p = 0.26, respectivamente). El dolor en la escala analógica visual a las 6, 24 y 48 horas no fue estadísticamente significativo (p = 0.632, p = 0.802 y p = 0.173, respectivamente).

CONCLUSIONES:

El bloqueo PATL es una técnica fácil y rápida de realizar en pacientes como método alternativo cuando no se dispone de guía ecográfica o anestesióloga.
