Comparison of Spinal Anesthesia Adjuvant and Quadratus Lumborum Block on the Opioid Requirement and Perioperative Pain of Laparoscopic Kidney Transplant Donor

NA · Indonesia University · NCT06764667

This study is testing two different pain management techniques for kidney transplant donors to see which one helps reduce the need for opioids and manage pain better during and after surgery.

What this trial studies

This study compares the effectiveness of spinal anesthesia adjuvant and quadratus lumborum block in reducing opioid requirements and managing perioperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy. The trial involves patients aged 18-65 with a BMI of 35 or less and ASA physical status 1-2. Participants will receive either spinal anesthesia with an adjuvant or a quadratus lumborum block to assess pain control and opioid usage during and after the procedure.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 undergoing laparoscopic donor nephrectomy with a BMI of 35 or less.

Not a fit: Patients with significant cardiovascular issues, recent cerebrovascular disease, or severe renal or liver dysfunction may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for kidney transplant donors, reducing opioid consumption and enhancing recovery.

How similar studies have performed: While similar approaches have been explored, this specific comparison of spinal anesthesia adjuvant and quadratus lumborum block in this context is relatively novel.
