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.
Major spinal surgery causes greater pain in the postoperative 24 hours. Patients with severe pain may have prolonged hospital stays and delay in mobilization. In addition, chronic pain may be seen in these patients due to ineffectively managed acute postoperative pain. Therefore, optimizing acute postoperative analgesia is a priority in patients undergoing major spinal surgery. Recently, ultrasound-guided interfascial plane blocks such as thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIPB)and the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) have been described in spinal surgery. Both blocks clinically seem to be safe and easily performed. The aims of this study are to compare the quality of recovery scores, overall morbidity and postoperative analgesia after major spinal surgery in patients receiving either TLIPB or ESPB.
Despite opioid-based multimodal analgesia, moderate-to-severe pain remains a big problem in patients following multi-segment spinal fusion. As a N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, S-ketamine has prominent analgesic effects through activating receptors both in the brain and in the spinal cord, inhibiting the excitatory postsynaptic potential, and thus blunting nociception transmission. This randomized controlled trial is designed to investigate whether perioperative S-ketamine infusion can decrease pain intensity after major spine fusion surgery.
This study is to examine the analgesic effectiveness of continuous loco-regional analgesic application (ropivacaine) through surgically placed Intercostal Catheter (ICC) and to establish correctly this method as a possible standard of care in the postoperative analgesia after Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) anatomical lung resection.
This study aims to compare the effects of the erector spinae plan block (ESP) and modified pectoral nerve block (PECS II) on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing video- assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS).
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guidedPECS II block with TPVB for postoperative analgesia after VATS.
The aim of this study is to compare between the efficacy of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block and ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block in managing acute postoperative pain in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
This study is to assess and compare the analgesic efficacy and safety of quadratus lumbotum block and paravertebral block in gynacological cancer patients.
Scoliosis correction surgery is followed with severe pain. Patients after scoliosis correction surgery usually require high dose opioids and long duration analgesia, which may increase side effects and even drug tolerance. S-ketamine is the pure dextrorotatory enantiomer of ketamine with stronger analgesic effect and less side effects, but mental side effects is a major concern. Dexmedetomidine can be used as an analgesic supplement; it also improves sleep quality in postoperative patients. We hypothesize that low-dose ketamine and dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids may have synergistic effect in analgesia and reduce drug-related side effects. This study aims to explore the effect of low-dose of S-ketamine and dexmedetomidine in combination with opioids for postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia in patients following scoliosis correction surgery.
