Sensory Analysis and Cutaneous Mapping of Different Regional Anesthesia Techniques
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
This prospective observational study aims to evaluate and compare the sensory block distribution and regression patterns of two regional anesthesia techniques - External Oblique Plane Block (EOPB) and Serratus Intercostal Plane Block (SIPB) - in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Thirty adult patients (ASA I-III, BMI ≤ 35 kg/m², ≥50 kg) scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy procedures will be included, with 20 in each block group. Sensory block areas will be assessed using pinprick test, and dermatomal mapping will visualize the spread. The findings are expected to improve understanding of block behavior and guide multimodal analgesia strategies in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery and who have received a regional anesthesia technique for this purpose. * Aged between 18-75 years. * Belonging to ASA I-III group. * Having provided written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients who refuse to participate. * Patients who did not receive a block. * Patients classified as ASA IV. * History of previous abdominal surgery (affecting the laparoscopic approach). * Patients with cognitive dysfunction or inability to cooperate. * Patients diagnosed with psychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, mania, depression, etc.). * Patients who have been using antipsychotic medication for more than 4 weeks.
