Study summary

The goal of this observational, quality improvement study is to compare the effect of a dose of morphine given during gall-bladder removal surgery. The main questions to answer are:

  • Do participants, who are given given a dose of morphine during gall-bladder removal surgery, experience less pain after surgery?
  • Does a dose of morphine during gall-bladder removal surgery cause more side effects? The investigators will compare the effects of two types of anesthesia: a) anesthesia without morphine during surgery, and b) anesthesia with morphine during surgery.
Read the detailed description

The investigators will use Redcap secure web application (via Open Patient Data Explorative Network, a subsidiary under University Hospital of Odense, Denmark) for data collection and data management.

No sample size has been collected as per the observational design. The investigators expect to include an equal number in each study arm, as there has been no indication of change in indications for surgery type.

The investigators expect to use students T-test for comparison of groups. If possible logistic regression analyses will be undertaken.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Use of rescue analgesia.

    Calculated as morphine equivalents.

    Time frame: 24 hours

Secondary outcomes

  1. Intraoperative opioid use.

    Calculated as morphine equivalents.

    Time frame: 24 hours

  2. Pain-score at arrival in postoperative ward.

    Intervals: 0 = no pain, 1 = light pain (equivalent to numerical ranking scale (NRS) 1-3), 2 = moderate pain (equivalent to NRS 4-6), 3 = severe pain (equivalent to NRS 7-10).

    Time frame: 24 hours

  3. Pain-score at discharge from postoperative ward.

    Intervals: 0 = no pain, 1 = light pain (equivalent to NRS 1-3), 2 = moderate pain (equivalent to NRS 4-6), 3 = severe pain (equivalent to NRS 7-10).

    Time frame: 24 hours

  4. Rescue antiemetic treatment in postoperative ward.

    Antiemetic drugs and doses registered.

    Time frame: Up to 24 hours follow up.

  5. Time in postoperative ward.

    Minutes.

    Time frame: 24 hours

  6. Analgesic treatment in surgical ward if admitted

    Only if admitted (a large proportion of patients expected to undergo out-patient procedure). Calculated as morphine equivalents.

    Time frame: 24 hours

  7. Antiemetic treatment in surgical ward.

    Only if admitted (a large proportion of patients are expected to undergo out-patient procedure). Antiemetic drugs and doses registered.

    Time frame: 24 hours

  8. Hospital length of stay.

    Only if admitted (a large proportion of patients are expected to undergo out-patient procedure).

    Time frame: 1 month

  9. Emergence from anesthesia.

    Surrogate measure of emergence from anesthesia time.

    Time frame: 24 hours

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 28, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
