Morphine Consumption in Thoracotomy

Importance of effective postoperative pain management is well known. The undesired effects of pain can be prevented with multimodal analgesia for the patient. Thoracotomy operations are associated with high levels of pain. With the use of ultrasound, many regional anesthesia techniques were described to provide effective postoperative analgesia. The aim of this study was to compare the postoperative effect of paravertebral block (PVB) and erector spinal plane block (ESPB) in thoracotomies.

Treatment and study plan

PVB

Procedure

Paravertebral block will be performed before the surgery with 20 mL of %0.5 bupivacaine at T4 level.

ESPB

Procedure

Erector spinae plane block will be performed before the surgery with 20 mL of %0.5 bupivacaine at T4 level.

Primary outcomes

  1. Morphine consumption

    Time frame: Postoperative 24th hour

    Morphine consumption (mg) of patients with patient controlled analgesia device

  2. NRS score

    Time frame: Postoperative 24th hour

    Numerating rating scale of the patients (between 0 and 10, 0 represents no pain and 10 represents the worst pain ever possible.
