TAP-catheter With Intermittent Bolus Injections of Bupivacain, an Alternative to Epidural Catheter Infusion After Colon Surgery?

Aalborg University Hospital·interventional·Posted Jul 15, 2011·Updated Feb 7, 2012

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Placing bilateral TAP-catheters preoperatively and Bupivacain 2.5 mg/ml with epinephrine bolus in TAP-catheters for Postoperative Pain. Completed, enrolled 15 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

Major abdominal surgery is associated with postoperative pain. Transversus Abdominis Plane(TAP) block has been shown to reduce pain and opioid-requirements after abdominal surgery. However a single block has a short effect of up to 12 hours depending on the type local-anesthetics used. With this study we wish to investigate the possibilities to place a TAP-catheter in order to prolong the the effect of the TAP-block by giving repeatedly bolus-injections in the TAP catheter and to study the pain and the opioid requirements of patients undergoing elective colon-resection when given a TAP-catheter preoperatively. Our hypothesis is that it is practical and technical possible to place bilateral TAP-catheters pre-operatively and that pain and opioid-requirements will be low.
