Examining CPK Levels After Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery and Pain Management Techniques

Does Postoperative Analgesic Modalities Effect Blood Creatin Phosphokinase Levels After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Surgery?

Observational Samsun University · NCT06508177

This study is testing whether different pain management techniques during gallbladder surgery affect muscle health by measuring a specific enzyme in patients before and after the operation.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to investigate the levels of plasma creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, focusing on the potential myotoxicity associated with different analgesic modalities, particularly interfascial plane blocks. Over a three-month period, eligible patients will have their CPK levels measured preoperatively and at 6 and 24 hours postoperatively. The study will analyze the data to determine if there is a correlation between the type of analgesia used and CPK levels, which may indicate muscle damage. The findings could provide insights into the safety and efficacy of regional anesthesia techniques in surgical settings.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are patients classified as ASA 1-3 who are scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia.

Not a fit: Patients with conditions such as morbid obesity, local anesthetic allergies, myopathies, or significant comorbidities like heart or liver diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance postoperative pain management strategies while minimizing the risk of muscle damage in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on myotoxicity related to local anesthetics, this specific investigation into CPK levels following interfascial plane blocks in laparoscopic surgery is relatively novel.
