Summary

A thoracotomy requires a very painful incision, involving multiple muscle layers, rib resection and continuous motion as the patient breathes. Treatment of acute post thoracotomy pain is particularly important not only to keep the patient comfortable but also to minimize pulmonary complications

Though epidural analgesia was once considered as the gold standard for post-thoracotomy pain management, it is not recommended for pain control after thoracotomy surgery because it is associated with high potential risks of dural puncture, nerve lesions, epidural hematoma and hypotension(4). Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) and intercostal nerve block are well described and recognized techniques for postoperative analgesia following thoracic surgeries, such as thoracotomy and mastectomy

Conditions

  • Pain Mangement of Thoracotomy

Interventions

DRUG

Bupivacaine 0.25% Injectable Solution

Group CTB (n=30): patients included in this group will receive unilateral US-guided CTB after general anesthesia. The CTB will be performed by using 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25% Group ESPB (n=30): patients included in this group will receive unilateral US-guided ESPB after general anesthesia. The ESB will be performed by using 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25%
