An interventional study of TAPB Group and RSB Group in Umbilical Hernia and Obesity, sponsored by University of Florida. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 99 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2024-05-30.
Sponsored by University of Florida · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Compare the ability of the transversus abdominis plane block (TAPB) and rectus sheath block (RSB) to provide surgical anesthesia for overweight and obese patients undergoing umbilical hernia surgery.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the ability of the TAPB and RSB to provide anesthesia for overweight and obese patients undergoing abdominal wall surgery. At the present time, this procedure is performed under general anesthesia, which often poses increased risks for overweight and obese individuals. It is not known if these blocks could be used to avoid the use of general anesthesia.
Exclusion Criteria:
Compare the instance in the TAPB group of intraoperative local anesthetic supplementation, analgesic administration, or conversion to general anesthesia when undergoing TAPB to anesthetize the abdominal wall.
Procedure: TAPB Group · Procedure: conversion to general anesthesia
Compare the instance in the RSB group of intraoperative local anesthetic supplementation, analgesic administration, or conversion to general anesthesia when undergoing RSB to anesthetize the abdominal wall.
Procedure: RSB Group · Procedure: conversion to general anesthesia
Subjects allocated to the TAPB group will be monitored for instances of intraoperative local anesthetic supplementation, analgesic administration, or conversion to general anesthesia will be compared.
Also known as: truncal peripheral nerve blocks, anesthetize the abdominal wall, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, Transversus abdominis plane blocks
Subjects allocated to the RSB group will be monitored for instances of intraoperative local anesthetic supplementation, analgesic administration, or conversion to general anesthesia will be compared.
Also known as: truncal peripheral nerve blocks, anesthetize the abdominal wall, ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia, rectus sheath blocks
For those who do not respond to TAPB or RSB to allow for completion of the intended procedure.
Also known as: general anesthetic
Changes between the two groups to provide surgical anesthesia
Assessed by the ability of the TAPB and RSB to provide primary surgical anesthesia
Time frame: Changes from baseline (pre-op) to 1 hour post-operative
Changes between the two groups assessed by post-operative pain control
Assessed by instances of numerical rating scale pain scores (0-10)
Time frame: Changes from baseline (post-operative) to 48 hours post-operative
