Rhomboid Block,erectör Spiane Block, Thoracotomy

Effective analgesia is very important in terms of preventing respiratory, thromboembolic complications and providing early mobilization after open thoracotomy.

Although thoracic epidural analgesia is gold standart method for this aim, it causes common side effects such as hypotension, dural puncture,motor block In recent years, with the effective use of ultrasonography, different regional anesthesia methods have been developed to prevent such complications

About this study

A total of 75 patients will be included in the study in three groups: group ESPB, group RIB and control group (group K). Under general anesthesia, patients who will undergo both ESPB and RIB will be applied block with a 22 G and 100 mm block needle, accompanied by ultrasonography, and 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Apart from the standard peroperative analgesia protocol applied to all three groups, no additional procedure will be performed in group control. Postoperative analgesic consumption amount, first analgesic requirement time and visual analog scale (VAS) values of the patients will be recorded.

Who can participate

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Patients between 18-75 years old
  • ASA1,2,3 group patients
  • Patients undergoing thoracotomy under general anesthesia

Exclusion criteria

  • Allergy to local anesthetics

Treatment and study plan

rhomboid block

Other

Rhombid block, on the other hand, is a method which make up analgesia by providing lokal anestethetic enjection between intercostal muscles and rhomboid muscles and blocks between t3- t9 levels

erector spinae block

Other

The Erector spinae plan block is a recently developed regional block method .Adminestering of lokal anesthetic between the transver proces and erector spinae muscles provides the dorsal and ventral branch blokades of regional spinal nerve and make up the analgesia.İt have a wide range usage such as surgery of thoracal and abdominal area

Control

Other

For postoperative analgesia, all patients (including Rhomboid block and Erector spinae block) will be administered 100 mg tramadol and 1 gr paracetamol. No additional intervention other than this medical approach will be applied in the control group.

Primary outcomes

  1. rhomboid block versus erector spinae block in thorachotomy

    Time frame: the study will comlete in three month

    In this study, we aimed to compare the effects of rhomboid block and erector spinae block in pain control after thoracotomy
