Trial summary

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) provides an opportunity to penetrate the thoracic cavity by video through an incision into the chest wall and facilitate surgical operation of lung pathologies.Various regional methods of anesthesia are currently being used to achieve this goal.

About this study

Official title: Investigation of Analgesic Effect of Long Thoracic Nerve Blockade After VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery) Operation

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) provides an opportunity to penetrate the thoracic cavity by video through an incision into the chest wall and facilitate surgical operation of lung pathologies.Various regional methods of anesthesia are currently being used to achieve this goal.

The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Long thoracic nerve bloc on postoperative VATS analgesia.

Being tested
Morphine Sulfate, Bupivacaine

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Morphine SulfateDrug

    Also called Morphine

    Intravenous morphine infusion with PCA: Solution was concentration of 0.5 mg/mL. Loading dose of 1 mg, 0.5 mg of bolus dose and 20 min of locking time.

  • BupivacaineDrug

    Ultrasound guided Long thoracic nerve blockage with 5 ml % 0.25 bupivacaine

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. morphine consumption

    morphine consumption

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Visual Analog Scale

    Visual Analog Scale was used for pain.Pain intensity was measured using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). (0=no pain, 10=intolerable pain)

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  2. side effect (Hypotension)

    side effect Hypotension

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  3. additional analgesic use

    additional analgesic use

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  4. side effect (Nausea and vomiting)

    Nausea and vomiting scale

    1. Nausea and vomiting scale (nausea-vomiting scale (NVS): 1. No nausea is present, 2. Mild nausea is present. 3. Severe nausea is present. 4. Vomiting is present) In case of a NVS score of >3, an anti-emetic drug was administered.

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours

  5. side effect (Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS)

    Ramsay Sedation Scale (Ramsay Sedation Scale (RSS) : 1. Anxiety, agitation are present; 2. Cooperated, awake; 3. Sedatized, response to commands; 4. Sleepy, immediately awoken by auditory stimulus or glabella tap; 5. Sleepy, deep response to auditory stimulus or glabella tap and 6. Sleepy, no response to auditory stimulus or glabella tap)

    Measured: Postoperative 24 hours
