Brief summary

Liver donors have a significant risk to develop persistent and chronic pain around 20 to 30% affecting social and professional life (17%) up to 1 year after the surgery. To donate a part of liver is a beautiful gift reason why the pain relief must be improved. Meta-analysis showed that the best prevention against post operative chronic pain are the techniques blocking the pain signal (regional anaesthesia) Patients after liver donation are still in pain even in 2020 with the best multimodal analgesia medications. Erector sinae Plane Block (ESP) ESP will block the signal and improve the pain relief we hope to demonstrate that it will reduce the risk to develop post operative chronic pain and improve the quality of recovery and the quality of life after liver donation

Detailed description

1. Goals: Compare quality of pain relief and quality of life between bilateral ESP bilateral catheters Vs Opioid analgesia in donor patients for liver donation. 2. Methodology: • Selection criteria: Age \> 18 years old Be volunteer to donate liver Agree to participate in the trial • Exclusion criteria: Use of chronic opioids Contra-indication tom perform ESP catheter (Infection near puncture point, Severe thoracic scoliosis, allergie to local anesthestics) A diagnosis of a chronic pain conditionDepression or other psychiatric diagnosis • Study design: Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial. Patients who agree to join the study will be randomized into 2 groups: Group 1 (Control group): standard of care in liver donation : Intraoperative analgesia by Opioid sufentanil and post operative analgesia by PCA opioid morphine Group 2 (treatement group): Standard peri-operative analgesia for liver donation in since Investigators use regional anaesthesia as first line treatement for peri operative analgesia Bilateral ESP catheters with continuous regional analgesia by infusion of local anesthestic (Ropivacaine) Sample size: investigators expected to increase the Quality of LIfe (QoL) score (using under-the-curve area) from 36·9 for the ERAS group to 38.3 for ESP group The sample size of 10 patients per group is required to detect such changes assuming a confidence interval of 95% with a power of 90% and alpha = 0.05. Considering 20% of drop-out, the total sample size is 24 patients (12 patients each group) 3. Project outcomes: * Primary outcomes Quality of pain relief with opioid consumption * Secondary outcomes Duration of hospitalisation participants satisfaction Quality of recovery (QOR 16) Pain at 1 & 3 months rest and mobilization + QOL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
quality of pain relief at restfrom day 0 = day of surgery to day 180Visual analgesic score at rest
quality of pain relief at mouvementfrom day 0 = day of surgery to day 180Visual analgesic score at mouvement

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Quality of recovery1 month after surgeryScore based on Table quality of recovery including 15 criteria from 0 to 10 each ) = poor 10 = excellent poor recovery scale 0 to 150
Opioid consumptionfrom day 0 to 30 days after the day of surgeryTotal dose of opioids required
Quality of life (QOL) after donation1 months and 3 months after surgeryThe Form QOL (36) is a 36-item, patient-reported survey of patient health and mesure the surgical outcomes. The SF-36 is a measure of health status
Patient satisfaction1 month after the surgeryindex from 0 not satisfy to 10 extremely satisfied
Duration of hospitalisationFrom day = 0 day of the surgery to day to discharge day 15 maximumDuration of hospitalisation
