Trial Description
Title
Intravenous vs. epidural analgesia to reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal complications after elective pancreatoduodenectomy
Trial Acronym
PAKMAN
URL of the Trial
[---]*
Brief Summary in Lay Language
The effective treatment of pain after surgery has a positive effect on the recovery of patients. For major surgical procedures of the pancreas, pain management is already initiated during surgery and continued after surgery for several days as needed to alleviate pain sufficiently.
Currently, there are two different standard applications: one is the intravenous (administered through a vein) patient-controlled pain treatment, abbreviated IV-PCA, the other is the epidural (administered via a catheter near the spinal cord) pain treatment, abbreviated EDA.
The aim of the PAKMAN trial is to compare both procedures with respect to the occurrence of complications of the gastrointestinal tract (e.g. pancreatic fistula).
Brief Summary in Scientific Language
The most common strategies for pain management in pancreatic surgery are either combined intraoperative general and epidural anesthesia and postoperative epidural analgesia (EDA) or intraoperative general anesthesia and postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (IV-PCA). Unfortunately, patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy often suffer from gastrointestinal complications, e. g. pancreatic fistula, delayed gastric emptying, biliary leakage, gastrointestinal bleeding, postoperativ ileus. Based on a previous trial, the aim of the PAKMAN trial is to compare These two procedures regarding the frequency of complications in a multicenter RCT setting. A total of 370 patients need to be randomized.
