Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Recto-Intercostal Fascial Plane (RIFP) Block in Postoperative Analgesia Management in Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Status: Recruiting

Intervention Type: Procedure, Other
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY

Ultrasound-guided Recto-Intercostal Fascial Plane (RIFP) Block is performed by injecting local anesthetic deep between the 7th rib and the costochondral aspect of the rectus muscle. It provides blockage of both the anterior and lateral cutaneous branches of T6-T10/11 and analgesia of the sternum, epigastrium, and upper abdomen (1). Studies show that RIFP block is effective for postoperative analgesia, sternum revision, and cardiac surgery. However, its effect on patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomies has not been studied yet. The investigators hypothesize that RIFP block performed in laparoscopic cholecystectomies would reduce postoperative rescue analgesic use and postoperative opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery.
