Role of Perineural Catheter in Pain Control and Opioid Consumption After Major Amputation of Lower Limb
Conditions: Lower Limb Surgery, Pain, Phantom Limb Pain After Amputation, Stump Pain, Amputation
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 75 Years
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE4
Enrollment: 96
Sponsor: Aga Khan University
Summary
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter in managing postoperative pain and to determine the opioid consumption among patients undergoing major lower-limb amputation surgery.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Does postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter provide better postoperative pain control as compared to intravenous opioid analgesia alone?
* Does postoperative bupivacaine infusion through a perineural catheter reduce intravenous opioid consumption within the first 48 hours after surgery compared with intravenous opioid analgesia alone?
* Does the postoperative Bupivacaine infusion through perineural catheter help in reducing the phantom pain at 6 months follow-up?
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients aged 18 and above
* Patients undergoing lower limb amputation.
* ASA status I to IV.
* Patients under general or spinal anaesthesia
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with no allergies to study drugs (inje Bupivacaine 0.125%, Inje Tramadol, Inje Morphine)
* Pregnant and lactating patients
* Patients who require post-operative ventilatory support in ICU
* Those with open wound of amputation stump
* Procedures performed under peripheral nerve block
