NCT03228056

Brief Summary

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled trial was designed to assess and compare the postoperative pain after VATS lobectomy performed though one, two and three incisions. The primary outcome measure is pain intensity measured in VAS scale. The secondary outcome measure is cumulative morphine consumption up to 72 hours after surgery

Eligibility Criteria

Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1-3
  • undergo videothoracoscopic lung lobectomy
  • forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) \>1,5 l/min
  • no contraindications for epidural anesthesia
  • ability to comprehend principles of VAS pain examination method and to communicate in accordance with them.

You may not qualify if:

  • prior to the study: contraindications for local anesthesia, ASA\>3, FEV1\<1,5 l/min, conditions disabling the patient from comprehending the principles of VAS pain examination, known allergy to used medications.
  • during the study: failure to place epidural catheter, decision to abandon lobar resection (e.g. in case of neoplastic dissemination), intraoperative conversion to thoracotomy, intraoperative anatomical obstacles to distribution of local anesthetics, conditions disabling the patient from pain evaluation by means of VAS method (e.g. postoperative delirium), necessity to administer other pharmaceuticals influencing pain perception (e.g. sedatives), necessity of mechanical ventilation, interruption of local anesthesia as a result of technical problems (e.g. damage or slippage of catheter).
