Trial summary

Thoracic surgery is now common and as other surgeries evolution of minimally invasive techniques is employed. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) produces little scar but may produce severe pain that may affect the pulmonary function. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pain Managment After VATS to Reduce Postoperative Pain and Improve Pulmonary Function

Thoracic surgery is now common and as other surgeries evolution of minimally invasive techniques is employed. Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) produces little scar but may produce severe pain that may affect the pulmonary function. Many procedure was developed like intercostal nerve block which require injections at multiple levels, Insertion of local anaesthetic (LA) in the surgical drain but that was dangerous due to the large amount of LA and not sufficient to completely eliminate pain. Bupvicaine nebulization, through surgical port which won't make any other wound, thought to be sufficient because Nebulization will enable us better distribution and less amounts of LA. Bupvicaine is local anaesthetic amide group that works by blocking sodium channels thus preventing progression of action potential.

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 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Time to first rescue analgesia (time frame: The first 24 hours postoperatively). 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.
