Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to compare the role of dexmedetomidine and ketamine as an adjuvant in external oblique intercostal plane block for post thoracotomy pain.


Clinical Trial Description

Postsurgical pain in patients who have undergone open thoracotomy for lung cancer or other lung surgeries is known to be very severe. As a result, this pain alters spontaneous breathing, delays postoperative recovery, and persists as chronic post-thoracotomy pain syndrome . Post-thoracotomy pain syndrome is relatively common and is seen in approximately 50% of patients after thoracotomy. It is a chronic condition, and about 30% of patients might still experience pain 4 to 5 years after surgery. ;
