    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology and Pain Management
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Effective intra-operative and postoperative pain management is crucial for patient recovery after cholecystectomy.
    • Conventional needle techniques for intercostal nerve blocks carry risks such as pneumothorax.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of using a jet injector for intercostal nerve blocks in cholecystectomy patients.
    • To compare the jet injector method with the conventional needle technique for pain relief.

    Main Methods:

    • A jet injector was utilized to administer a concentrated local analgesic solution for intercostal nerve blocks.
    • The procedure was performed during and after cholecystectomy surgeries.
    • Efficacy was compared to the standard needle injection method.

    Main Results:

    • The jet injector technique demonstrated comparable success rates to the conventional needle technique for pain relief.
    • The study assessed the risks associated with the jet injector method, including pneumothorax.

    Conclusions:

    • Jet injection is a viable alternative for intercostal nerve blocks, providing effective pain relief in cholecystectomy.
    • Further discussion addresses the potential risks and challenges associated with the analgesic solution and delivery method.
