Ultrasound-guided Serratus Block and the Emergence of Post-thoracotomy Pain Syndrome

NCT03533426 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 90

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this prospective, single blinded, comparative pilot study is to evaluate U/S guided serratus anterior plane catheter block (SAPB) versus patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) on the emergence of post - thoracotomy pain syndrome (PTPS). The investigator's assumed hypothesis is that; SAPB is an effective thoracic analgesic technique that may reduce the development of PTPS.

Conditions

  • Thoracic Neuritis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Serratus anterior plane catheter block

Ultrasonographic guided placement of a catheter under the serratus anterior muscle in cases of open thoracotomies for chest malignancies in an attempt to reduce the emergence of postthoracotomy pain syndrome.

PROCEDURE

Patient controlled analgesia

The use of patient controlled analgesia through a pump aiming to reduce the development of postthoracotomy pain syndrome
