Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-65 with ASA physical status I or II who are scheduled for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Probably not a fit

Patients outside the age range of 18-65, those with allergies to local anesthetics, or those with severe comorbidities (ASA III-IV) may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block (EOIB) on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It compares intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative analgesic requirements, and patient satisfaction between those receiving the EOIB and a control group. The use of ultrasonography enhances the reliability of this regional anesthesia technique, which is expected to improve patient outcomes. The study focuses on a specific age group and health status to ensure safety and efficacy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to improved pain management and higher patient satisfaction after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery.

How similar studies have gone: While there are few studies on the EOIB technique, regional anesthesia techniques have generally shown promise in improving patient outcomes in similar surgical settings.
