No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Thoracotomy is one of the most painful surgeries; Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) has been developed to reduce the surgical stress of thoracotomy. However, patients may experience moderate to severe pain within the first 24 hours after VATS. Intravenous opioids are frequently used to provide postoperative analgesia, and accordingly, side effects such as postoperative nausea/vomiting and respiratory depression can be seen.

The aim of this study is to compare Superficial+Deep Vs. Deep Serratus Anterior Plan Block for postoperative pain control in VATS cases.

Conditions

  • Analgesia

Interventions

OTHER

Group Superficial+Deep Serratus Anterior Plan Block

The block will be performed after induction of general anesthesia and surgical positioning. 15 ml of 0.375% Bupivacaine + epinephrine 5 µg/ml will be administered between the serratus anterior and latissimus dorsalis muscles. The same concentration of block fluid will be applied between the serratus anterior and the outer intercostal muscle.
