This study aims at comparing the effect of serratus plane block versus thoracic epidural in patients undergoing thoracotomy for lung cancer surgery regarding pain control and possible side effects.
A total of 60 patients scheduled for thoracotomy with the aim of excision of pleural or lung cancer, will be randomized by the use of a computer-generated table of random numbers to receive duloxetine 60 mg orally 2 hours before the surgical procedure and at 24 hours after the surgical procedure or a placebo pill following the same time schedule.
The goal of this paper is to evaluate whether the pre-emptive administration of Ketamine would potentiate the effect of intravenous morphine analgesia in management of post thoracotomy pain. This was a single center, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel-group, prospective study. Patients were randomly assigned to receive 1 mg/kg ketamine (Ketamine Group) or an equivalent dose of normal saline (Placebo Group) before thoracotomy in 1:1 ratio. All patients received postoperatively intravenous morphine administration as additional analgesic regimen Primary end-point was pain relief measured with Visual Analogue Scale at rest. The secondary end-points were the reduction of inflammatory response expressed by plasma c-reactive protein levels, the morphine consumption, and the rate of side effects. The measurements were carried out 6; 12; 24; 36; and 48 post operative hours.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of pregabalin or pregabalin and continuous wound infusion versus placebo for analgesia following thoracotomy
