Summary

Interpleural analgesia (IPA) offers a safe and effective approach for managing pain during percutaneous transhepatic biliary procedures. This method provides good pain relief for many patients, minimizing the need for additional sedation.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Percutaneous transhepatic biliary procedures can be associated with significant procedural pain.
  • Effective analgesia is crucial for patient comfort and procedural success during these interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy and safety of interpleural analgesia for pain management during percutaneous transhepatic biliary procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Interpleural catheters were placed in the intercostal space, followed by lignocaine injection for splanchnic and intercostal nerve block.
  • Pain was evaluated using a 4-point scale by patients, nurses, and radiologists.
  • Hemodynamic parameters and oxygen saturation were monitored throughout the procedures.

Main Results:

  • Successful catheter placement was achieved in 22 patients.
  • Good analgesia without additional sedation was observed in 12 instances.
  • No complications related to the interpleural block technique were reported.

Conclusions:

  • Interpleural analgesia is a safe and relatively effective technique for providing pain relief during percutaneous transhepatic biliary procedures.
  • The method demonstrated good efficacy in a majority of patients, with a low incidence of complications.
