Randomized Controlled Trial
Bilateral external oblique intercostal plane block (EOIPB) in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: A randomized controlled trial.
To measure tramadol intake in the first 24 hours post-surgery. In addition, pain scores and quality of recovery were evaluated as secondary outcomes. ⋯ External oblique intercostal plane block resulted in less postoperative tramadol consumption. However, there were no minimal clinically important differences about postoperative opioid consumption. On the other hand, compared to multimodal analgesia addition of EOIPB improved overall QoR-15 scores at postoperative 24 hours.Clinical Trial Reg. No.: NCT05536557.
