Postoperative Analgesia After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

NCT06836635 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 50

Last updated 2025-02-20

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a commonly performed minimally invasive procedure that has lead to lower levels of pain. However, VATS require analgesia that blocks both visceral and somatic nerve fibers for more effective pain control.

In this study investigators will compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) after VATS.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain Management, After VATS

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ESPB group

The patient will be placed in the lateral position. Block will be performed under complete aseptic precautions using ultrasound machine with high frequency linear probe covered with sterile sheath . The block will be performed at the T5-T6 level of the spine using an in-plane approach. Sensory block of the 5th intercostal space in the midaxillary line will be assessed by unilaterally using cold perception until 30 minutes after nerve block. If sensory blockade did not occur, the patient will be excluded from the study.

PROCEDURE

TPVB group

The patient will be placed in the lateral position. Block will be performed under complete aseptic precautions using ultrasound machine with high frequency linear probe covered with sterile sheath . The block will be performed at the T5-T6 level of the spine using an in-plane approach. Sensory block of the 5th intercostal space in the midaxillary line will be assessed by unilaterally using cold perception until 30 minutes after nerve block. If sensory blockade did not occur, the patient will be excluded from the study.
