Brief Summary

Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) is frequently applied in thoracic surgery operations. VATS has become the standard procedure in minor and major lung surgeries. In recent years, regional anesthesia techniques have also been frequently applied to patients for pain relief. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) are also among the regional anesthesia techniques frequently used in thoracic surgery. General anesthesia (GA) is the main method of anesthesia for thoracic surgery. However, GA can only inhibit the projection system of the cortical limbic system or hypothalamic cortex. GA cannot completely block the transmission of peripheral noxious stimulus to the central nervous system and cannot effectively inhibit the intraoperative stress response. With the addition of peripheral blocks such as TPVB, ESPB, and SAPB, more stable hemodynamics is expected by providing preemptive analgesia in patients. As a result of all these; In this study, we aimed to compare the intraoperative hemodynamic changes of patients who underwent preoperative ESPB in patients who will undergo VATS resection under GA with those who underwent postoperative ESPB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Mean arterial pressure

    Mean arterial pressure values will be recorded before anesthesia, before surgical incision, after surgical incision at 5th, 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th minutes, and after general anesthesia.

    Perioperative period

  • Heart rate

    Heart rate values will be recorded before anesthesia, before surgical incision, after surgical incision at 5th, 30th, 60th, 90th, 120th minutes, and after general anesthesia.

    Perioperative period

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Pain scores

    First 24 hours after surgery

Study Arms (2)

Preoperative Erector Spinae Plane Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the preoperative period, under general anesthesia, after the linear ultrasound (US) probe will be placed 2-3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process, 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride will be injected into the interfacial space below the erector spinae muscle, above the transverse process.

Procedure: Preoperative Erector spinae plane block

Postperative Erector Spinae Plane Block

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

In the postoperative period, under general anesthesia, after the linear ultrasound (US) probe will be placed 2-3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process, 30 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine hydrochloride will be injected into the interfacial space below the erector spinae muscle, above the transverse process.

Procedure: Postperative Erector spinae plane block

Interventions

Erector spinae plane block will be performed unilaterally, under US guidance, before the surgical operation, after the induction of anesthesia, and when the patient is placed in the lateral decubitus position.

Preoperative Erector Spinae Plane Block

Erector spinae plane block will be performed unilaterally, under US guidance, after the surgical operation, under general anesthesia, and when the patient is placed in the lateral decubitus position.

Postperative Erector Spinae Plane Block
