NCT03217292

Brief Summary

Analgesia following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is important for the prevention of postoperative pulmonary complications.Various regional methods of anesthesia are currently being used to achieve this goal. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of SAPB on postoperative VATS analgesia.

Study Arms (2)

Group S

EXPERIMENTAL

IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) tramadol+Serratus Anterior Plane Block(SAPB) Tramadol infusion (PCA): 400 mg tramadol, IV 4 mg/mL tramadol solution into 100 mL normal saline; PCA settings: 0.3 mg/kg bolus, 10 mg Demand dose and 20 min lock out interval, six-hour limit infusion to attain 100 mg. Maximum daily dose was set at 400 mg. 20 mL of bupivacaine at a concentration of 0.25% to between serratus anterior and intercostal muscle using the in-line technique for SAPB.

Procedure: Serratus Anterior Plane BlockDrug: IV patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) tramadol

Group T
