Filter by:To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in controlling post thoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain.
This study will be conducted to compare the efficacy of ultrasound guided thoracic interfascial plane block versus ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block on acute and chronic pain after modified radical mastectomy surgery.
Our study aimed to examine the effects of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block in radical prostatectomy surgery on pain and surgical stress response, to reduce adrenocortical and sympathetic discharge due to anesthesia and surgery, and to reduce peroperative opioid analgesic consumption.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of adding dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to bupivacaine in ultrasound (US) guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for managing acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy.
Postoperative acute and chronic pain is frequently observed in patients undergoing video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). This prolongs the discharge time of patients and increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications. Recently, alternative analgesic methods such as thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) which are thought to have less side effects than thoracic epidural analgesia, have been used. Among these methods, ultrasound (US) guided TPVB is the most preferred method. In addition, ESPB and SAPB application is increasing in patients undergoing VATS. In the literature, the number of cases performed with ESPB and SAPB and randomized controlled prospective studies with ESPB and SAPB are increasing. In this study, it is planned to compare the effects of US-guided SAPB and ESPB on postoperative acute and chronic pain in patients undergoing VATS.
More than 50% of patients presenting with chest trauma experience rib fractures and these rib fractures are associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and long-term disability. Many of these adverse outcomes result from poorly controlled pain that interferes with breathing, leading to atelectasis, pneumonia, and respiratory failure. Therefore, early provision of adequate analgesia is crucial in the management of these patients. The basic stones of analgesic therapy are oral and intravenous drugs such as paracetamol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioids. However, patients with more significant injuries or comorbidities often require interventional procedures to provide adequate analgesia and avoid opioid-related side effects. Thoracic epidural analgesia and thoracic paravertebral blocks have traditionally been used, but these techniques are associated with side effects and may cause hemodynamic instability. Today, the use of ultrasonography (USG) guided block techniques such as erector spinae plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and intercostal block (ICB) has increased. These techniques are considered to be simpler and theoretically safer. Although ICB is frequently mentioned in the literature, the publications of new plane blocks such as ESPB and SAPB are new and few in number. In this study, SAPB and ICP to be performed with USG will be evaluated in terms of analgesic effect.
Adequate analgesic regimen is one of the most important key elements of Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols. The cornerstone of analgesia is multimodal analgesia combining local anesthetic (LA) techniques and trying to avoid parenteral opioids and their side effects. Subcostal approach to Anterior quadratus lumborum block (SAQLB), compared to other variants of quadratus lumborum blocks (QLBs), was associated with wider and longer sensory blockade, and provided somatic as well as visceral analgesia of the abdomen. The newly emerging, relatively easy erector spinae plane block (ESPB) provided excellent analgesia across a variety of surgical procedures and reduced opioid consumption. This motivated us to do this study to assess and compare the analgesic efficacy of ESPB versus SAQLB following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has become a common procedure in thoracic surgery. Severe postoperative pain may be encountered in patients undergoing VATS. Analgesic methods such as thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal block and erector spina plane block (ESPB) are widely used for VATS. Among these methods, ultrasound (US) guided TPVB is the most preferred method. In recent years, the frequency of application of plane blocks as a component of multimodal analgesia has been increased. ESPB and SAPB are some of them. Generally, comparisons are made between ESPB and TPVB in studies and the analgesic effect is evaluated.There are two techniques for SAPB application. In Deep SAPB (DSAPB) application, local anesthetic agent is given under the serratus anterior muscle. In the Superficial SAPB (SSAPB) application, the local anesthetic agent is given above the serratus anterior muscle. Since it is done by entering from the same point in two applications, it is possible to perform these two applications at the same time with a single needle entry. The mechanisms of regional analgesia techniques used after thoracic surgery operations are also different from each other. Therefore, it may be possible to obtain a more effective analgesic effect in patients by combining the mechanism of action of DSAPB and SSAPB , as in the multimodal analgesia method. This study seeks to evaluate the effect of ESPB and combined DSAPB-SSAPB pain after VATS.
It is widely accepted that thoracotomy causes severe acute pain. This increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications and postoperative morbidity. Many analgesic methods have been proposed for thoracotomy pain, including thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA), thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB), intercostal nerve blocks (ICSB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), serratus anterior plane block (SAPB). Among these methods, ultrasound-guided TPVB and ESPB are the most used methods. TPVB has left its place to newer techniques such as ESPB due to its proximity to the pleura and its deeper location. ESPB is more superficial, easy to access, and less likely to have complications. In addition, ESPB application is increasing in patients who underwent thoracotomy and VATS. There is no consensus on the dose of analgesia in these studies. There are studies on volumes between 10 ml and 40 ml in the literature. In this study, it was aimed to compare the volumes of 20 ml and 30 ml containing local anesthetic at the same concentration (0.25% bupivacaine) of ESPB block to be performed with USG in patients who underwent thoracotomy.
Thoracotomy is recognized as one of the most painful surgical procedures. This increases the frequency of postoperative pulmonary complications. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) and Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAPB) are more superficial, easier to perform, and less likely to have complications. In addition, ESPB and SAPB applications are increasing in patients who underwent thoracotomy and thoracoscopic surgery. In this study, the investigators aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous ESPB and continuous SAPB via US-guidance on post-thoracotomy pain.
