Brief Summary

Postoperative pain is a significant concern following video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Pain after thoracic surgery not only causes a strong stress reaction and adverse emotional experience but also affects postoperative rehabilitation. Hence, different analgesia techniques, including local anesthetic infiltration, intercostal nerve block, paravertebral block, and thoracic epidural anesthesia, have been described to attenuate the intensity of acute postoperative painparavertebral block (PVB) and Rhomboid intercostal block with sub-serratus plane block (RISS) are the two types of plane blocks used for postoperative analgesia after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prospective randomized controlled trial was performed to analyze the postoperative analgesic effects of ultra- sound-guided PVB and RISS block after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

    The primary outcome of this study was to compare the analgesia of paravertebral block versus rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane block in VATS surgery.

    up to 24 hours

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • morphine consumption

    up to 24 hours

  • first analgesia requirement

    up to 24 hours

  • Side effects

    up to 24 hours

Study Arms (3)

PARAVERTEBRAL BLOCK

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation in the operating room, following the positioning of the patient for surgery, ultrasound-guided paravertebral block (PVB) will be routinely performed in our clinic using 0.25% bupivacaine solution at a dose of 0.5 ml/kg.

Procedure: PARAVERTEBRAL BLOCK

RHOMBOID INTERCOSTAL AND SUBSERRATUS PLANE BLOCK

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After induction of general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation in the operating room, following the positioning of the patient for surgery, rhomboid intercostal block with sub-serratus plane block (RISS) will be routinely performed in our clinic using 0.25% bupivacaine solution at a dose of 0.5 ml/kg under ultrasound guidance.

Procedure: RHOMBOID INTERCOSTAL AND SUBSERRATUS PLANE BLOCK

PLACEBO

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

The group without any peripheral block application will be included

Procedure: PLACEBO

Interventions

Hemodynamic data (mean arterial pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation) will be recorded for all patients every 30 minutes during the intraoperative period, along with the amount of opioids used throughout the surgery. A patient-controlled analgesia device (PCA) will be connected to each patient 15 minutes before awakening, prepared with a 1mg/ml morphine solution, with a bolus dose of 2 ml and a lockout period of 15 minutes
