About this study

The optimal analgesia method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) remains controversial. 105 patients scheduled to undergo video-assisted thoracic surgery under general anesthesia will be included. Patients will be randomly allocated to receive ultrasound-guided ESP blocks on T4 and T6 levels (Group ESPB, n = 35),PVB (Group PVB, n = 35) after the anesthesia induction and turning the patient in the lateral position or (Group ICNB, n=35) with 30 mL 0.5% bupivacaine +50 µ adrenaline will be injected by the surgeon through the thoracoscope .

Read the detailed description

Standard general anesthesia was applied Patients will be randomly allocated to receive single shot of ESP blocks (Group ESPB), Paravertebral blocks (Group PVB) or (Group ICNB )at T4 and T6 levels according to a random number list that will be generated by a computer and will be stored in sealed envelopes. An independent experienced anesthesiologist will perform the first two blocks or surgeon will perform the third one through the thoracoscope according to the random number. The study coordinator, attending anesthesiologist, data collection resident and the patients will be all blinded to the treatment group assignment. All blocks will be applied on patient's back in a lateral position. Postoperative analgesia regimen consisted of a continuous infusion of iv iboprofen and morphine as a second rescue drug. Demographic data, past medical history, surgical and anesthetic data will be documented. Postoperative pain scores, consumption of analgesia and quality of recovery will be recorded to evaluate the analgesic effect.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Regional analgesia of thoracic surgical patients in people with Thoracic, run by Tanta University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

end tidal sevoflurane (time frame: 150 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2022.
