Filter by:The patients who will participate in the study will be determined and informed according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the patients who signed the informed consent form will be included in the study.52 patients who will undergo elective thoracotomy surgery will be divided into double-blinded 2 sided as preemptive and postoperative erector spina plane block. Intraoperative pain status of the patients will be determined by the "Nociception Level Index" device and analgesia will be provided with fentanyl. The primary aim of the study is to compare the intraoperative opioid consumption of two groups with plan block at different times. In the postoperative period, patient-controlled analgesia device will be given to both groups for rescue analgesia. The opioid consumption of the patients will be controlled in this way in the postoperative period and their pain status will be determined. The secondary aim of the study is to examine the effect of plan block application time on the postoperative period.
Effective pain control after thoracotomy increases the patient's respiratory functions and related quality of life, reduces the length of hospital stay and the amount of analgesia use. Kinesiology taping has been used in sports injuries for many years and has been used in recent years to reduce pain after major surgery. This study was conducted to examine the effect of kinesiology taping on pain, respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength in patients who underwent thoracotomy.In this prospective randomized controlled experimental study, individuals between the ages of 20-75 who underwent thoracotomy with posterolateral thoracotomy and who agreed to participate in the study were included. Unlike the control group, kinesiology taping was applied to the study group for 7 days after surgery. Pain, respiratory functions, respiratory muscle strength, amount of analgesic drug use, and quality of life were evaluated preoperatively, postoperative day 0, before tape application, postoperative 1st day, postoperative 2nd day, postoperative 7th day and postoperative 1st month.
Comparing efficacy of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Retrolaminar Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Thoracotomy
The aim of this retrospective study is to determine the factors affecting the development of chronic pain in patients with thoracotomy in the Thoracic Surgery Operating Rooms of İbn-i Sina Hospital. By identifying these factors, it is aimed to apply the necessary treatments to prevent the development of chronic pain and to improve patient outcomes.
Covid-19 infection has caused delay in many surgeries. Besides Covid -19 infection may be a potential problem in especially major surgeries such as thoracotomies. Surgery timing, complications, intensive care unit stay and vaccination status are important issues that should be learned from post-covid cases.The aim of the study is to learn lessons from post-covid thoracotomy cases.
To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in controlling post thoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain.
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.
Thoracotomy is a surgical procedure associated with severe post operative pain during the first day of surgery and is responsible for prolonged hospital stay, patient dissatisfaction and delayed return to normal activities along with increased morbidity and mortality. Investigators intend to compare the efficacy of two analgesic interventions (continuous infusion of paravertebral block (PVB) after loading dose compared with intercostal nerve block and continuous infusion of PVB without loading dose) on postoperative thoracotomy pain. The results of this study will direct the investigators to find the best practice methods which will reduce the postoperative thoracotomy pain, the overall cost of pain management and length of patient's hospital stay.
Thoracic paravertebral block (TPB) in thoracic surgery is practiced since the development of minimally invasive surgery. Historically, thoracic epidural analgesia is done in open thoracic surgery. Thoracotomy with rib spacing causes strong post-operative pain that is well controlled with epidural analgesia and allows less use of morphine. However, this method causes frequent side effects. Minimally invasive surgery, when it is possible and recommended, has the main benefit of not spacing the ribs and therefore preventing nerve stretching, rib fractures and less post-operative pain. This less aggressive method has other benefits: less inflammation, better recuperation especially for vulnerable patients (the elderly; limited pulmonary functions), less time of thoracic drainage, less in hospital stay and better quality of life (1). Less invasive surgery has brought us to use less invasive analgesic methods. Thoracic paravertebral block is a good alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia but is unfortunately not done everywhere due to the lack and need of professional training. The objective of our study is to compare two methods of TPB: ultrasound guided method undergone by the anesthesiologist, and intrathoracic method undergone through video assisted surgery (VATS) or robotic assisted surgery (RATS).
