Brief Summary

Acute postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is very severe. Because pain after thoracic surgery prevents early recovery, and increases postoperative complications, its is important to prevent pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. In the present study, we will evaluate whether nefopam reduces pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Pain after 1 hour of surgery

    Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).

    1 hour after surgery.

  • Pain after 6 hour of surgery

    Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).

    6 hours hours after surgery.

  • Pain after 12 hour of surgery

    Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).

    12 hours after surgery.

  • Pain after 24 hour of surgery

    Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).

    24 hours after surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Patient-controlled analgesia use

    24 hours after surgery

  • Rescue analgesics

    24 hours after surgery.

Study Arms (2)

control group

NO INTERVENTION

Nefopam will not be administered in this group.

nefopam group

EXPERIMENTAL

Intravenous nefopam 20 mg will be administered twice, immediately after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery.

Drug: Nefopam

Interventions

Nefopam 20 mg is mixed to 100 mL of normal saline, and is infused intravenously over 15 minutes. 20 mg of nefopam is administered intravenously for two times, after induction and at the end of surgery.
