Brief summary

The pain after clavicle fracture surgery may be managed with combined superficial cervical plexus-interscalene block and recently clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB). CPB was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. CPB may be an alternative to interscalene brachial plexus block. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the US-guided CPB and ISCB for postoperative analgesia management after clavicle surgery. The primary aim is to compare perioperative and postoperative opioid consumption and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS), adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).

Detailed description

Clavicle fracture is common in men and children after a direct fall on shoulder during sport activity such as cycling or an injury during a traffic accident. The pain after clavicle fracture surgery may be managed with combined superficial cervical plexus-interscalene block (ISCB) and recently clavipectoral fascia plane block (CPB). CPB was defined by Valdes in 2017 firstly. It may be used for postoperative analgesia after clavicle surgery. The clavipectoral fascia covers the clavicular site of the pectoralis major muscle. It provides the potential interfascial space between the clavicle and the pectoralis major muscle. CPB provide effective analgesia after clavicle surgery. It is also easy to perform. With this advantage and its analgesic effectiveness for clavicle surgery, CPB may be an alternative to interscalene brachial plexus block. However, randomized clinical efficacy trials are needed to investigate the effectiveness of CPB for clavicle fractures. In the literature, data about CPB is so limited, however it seems a good alternative to brachial plexus block for pain management after clavicle fracture. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of the US-guided CPB and ISCB for postoperative analgesia management after clavicle surgery. The primary aim is to compare perioperative and postoperative opioid consumption and the secondary aim is to evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS), adverse effects related with opioids (allergic reaction, nausea, vomiting).

Interventions

OTHERIbuprofen, Dorifen®; Fentanyl, Talinat®, ''Patient Controlled Analgesia Device''

Patients will be administered ibuprofen 400 mgr IV every 8 hours in the postoperative period. A patient controlled device prepared with 10 mcg/ ml fentanyl will be attached to all patients with a protocol included 10 mcg bolus without infusion dose, 10 min lockout time and 4 hour limit.

Masking description

The patient and the anesthesiologist who performs postoperative pain evaluation will not know the group.

Intervention model description

There are three models for this study. Patients will be randomly divided into three groups (Group CPB = CPB group, Group ISCB = ISCB group, Group C = Control group), before entering the operating room.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Opioid consumption for postoperative 24 hours period according to the patient controlled analgesia deviceChanges from baseline opioid consumption at postoperative 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 24 hours.The primary aim is to compare postoperative opioid consumption

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scores (Visual analogue scores-VAS)Changes from baseline pain scores at postoperative 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, and 24 hours.Postoperative pain assessment will be performed using the VAS score (0 = no pain, 10 = the most severe pain felt). The VAS scores will be recorded
