ESP vs ESP With PECS

Postoperative Pain Clinical Trial

Official title: Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Pectoral Fascia Block in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Repair Through the Right Mini-thoracotomy

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients scheduled for minimally invasive mitral valve repair. Each patient will be treated with intravenous (i.v.) oxycodone - patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Patients will be allocated to one of the groups: erector spinae plane (ESP) block or EPS with pectoral fascia (PECS) block.

Clinical Trial Description

Only patients who are qualified for an elective procedure of mitral valve replacement may participate in the study. Each patient will be anesthetized generally. The same drugs will be used in each stage of anesthesia. The induction: etomidate, remifentanil, rocuronium, scolina as required. The maintenance: sevoflurane, remifentanil, rocuronium. The emergence: oxygen, sugammadex or neostigmine a required.

Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: ESP or PECS. Among the patients from ESP group will have ESP blockade before the induction of general anesthesia. ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.1 mL per patient KG. The maximum dose is 20 mL.

Patients from PECS group will receive ESP block and PECS I and II type block with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine (up to 20 mL of local anesthetic).

Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 7-minute interval. This is standard protocol in the investigator's department.

Only patients who are successfully awakened after the procedure may participate in the study.

The pain intensity will be assessed with visual-analogue scale (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour after the end of anesthesia.

The total consumption of oxycodone will be also monitored. ;
