Ultrasound-guided coeliac plexus blocks using local anaesthetic effectively reduced pain during hepatobiliary procedures. Patients required significantly less sedation and analgesia, with only minor, transient hypotension as a complication.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Pain Management
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hepatobiliary interventional procedures can cause significant pain.
  • Coeliac plexus block is a potential method for pain control.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are preferred for patient comfort.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sonographically guided anterior coeliac plexus block.
  • To assess the impact of coeliac plexus block on sedation and analgesia requirements.
  • To compare outcomes with standard care in hepatobiliary interventions.

Main Methods:

  • A sonographically guided anterior approach was used for coeliac plexus block with local anaesthetic.
  • The procedure was performed on supine patients prior to hepatobiliary interventions.

  • Outcomes were compared to a control group receiving standard care.

    • Main Results:

    • A satisfactory coeliac plexus block was achieved in 8 out of 9 patients.
    • Two patients experienced transient hypotension, managed conservatively.
    • Coeliac block patients required significantly less intravenous sedation and analgesia.

    Conclusions:

    • Sonographically guided anterior coeliac plexus block is a feasible and effective technique.
    • This method reduces the need for sedation and analgesia during hepatobiliary procedures.
    • The procedure demonstrates a favorable safety profile with manageable complications.
