Clinical Trial Summary

This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded study is designed to evaluate the postoperative analgesic efficacy of the ultrasound-guided continuous erector spinae plane (ESP) block in patients undergoing thoracotomy. We hypothesize that US-guided ESP block is not inferior to thoracic epidural analgesia in terms of postoperative pain control in these patients.


Description:

Adult patients undergoing elective unilateral thoracotomy for lung cancer resection are randomly allocated to receive US-guided ESP block (n=31) or thoracic epidural analgesia (n=31). Both procedures are performed prior to surgery. Each patient was assessed by a blinded investigator on postoperative day (POD) 1,2 and 3. The primary outcome is pain severity evaluated by a numeric rating scale (NRS) at POD1.

Intervention

Procedure:
Erector spinae plane block group
Before surgery, an anesthesiologist will perform unilateral ESP block with catheterization under ultrasound guidance in the procedure room. Drug: Ropivacaine 0.75% Injectable Solution 0.2% ropivacaine is continuously infused to the erector spinae plane at T5 level via 18G 85 mm perineural catheter (Silverstim, Vygon, Ecouen, France) (basal infusion: 10ml/hr, bolus 5ml, lockout time: 20min)
Thoracic epidural analgesia group
Before surgery, an anesthesiologist will perform unilateral ESP block with catheterization under fluoroscopy guidance in the procedure room. Drug: Ropivacaine 0.75% Injectable Solution 0.2% ropivacaine is continuously infused to the erector spinae plane at T5 level via 17-gauge catheter (FlexTip Plus®, Teleflex Medical, USA) (Silverstim, Vygon, Ecouen, France) (basal infusion: 3ml/hr, bolus 1ml, lockout time: 20min)

Secondary Postoperative pain score at rest Change in the pain score at rest measured by the 11-pointed numeric rating scale (0: none/10: worst pain) from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 3 9am/4pm on postoperative day 1, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 2, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 3
Secondary Postoperative pain score at movement Change in the pain score at movement measured by the 11-pointed numeric rating scale (0: none/10: worst pain) from postoperative day 1 to postoperative day 3 9am/4pm on postoperative day 1, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 2, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 3
Secondary Change in the total consumption (ml) of patient-controlled analgesia total consumption (ml) of epidural or erector spinae plane patient-controlled analgesia 9am/4pm on postoperative day 1, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 2, 9am/4pm on postoperative day 3
Secondary Change in the quality of recovery-15 scale from baseline to postoperative day 3 measured by the Korean version of the quality of recovery-15 Day before surgery and 4pm on postoperative day 3
Secondary Postoperative pulmonary function test measured at outpatient clinic 3 months after surgery
Secondary Incidence of chronic postoperative pain measure by the Korean version of the pain DETECT 3 months after surgery
Secondary Incidence of chronic postoperative pain measure by the Korean version of the pain DETECT 6 months after surgery
