Summary

The aim of this study is to compare serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia after VATS as measured by the duration till 1st requirement of analgesia.

Conditions

  • Pain, Postoperative

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Serratus anterior plane block

High-frequency linear transducer will be placed on the patient's midaxillary line in the transverse plane, at the level of the fifth rib, with the indicator oriented toward the operator's left. With the rib, pleural line, and overlying serratus anterior and latissimus dorsi muscles visualized, Then, using ultrasound guidance, the needle will be advanced in-plane at an angle of approximately 45 degrees towards the fifth rib . one millileter normal saline will be injected to confirm placement and to hydro-dissect the fascial layers and open the potential space.

PROCEDURE

Erector spinae block

A high-frequency linear ultrasound probe will be placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm from the midline. Once the erector spinae muscle and the transverse processes is identified, spinal needle will be inserted in a caudad-to-cephalad direction until the tip lay in the interfacial plane deep to the erector spinae muscle.
