Tegileridine Combined With Intercostal Nerve Block After Thoracoscopic Lung Resection

Combining tegileridine PCIA with ICNB targeting peripheral nerves, may constitute an ideal analgesic model with complementary advantages. Thus potentially achieving the analgesic goal of "early pain relief, stable throughout the process, and rapid recovery," and may have a positive impact on reducing CPSP.

About this study

Combining tegileridine PCIA with ICNB targeting peripheral nerves, may constitute an ideal analgesic model with complementary advantages. ICNB provides rapid and precise incision analgesia in the early postoperative period, effectively blocking the transmission of peripheral nociceptive stimuli to the central nervous system. tegileridine PCIA, on the other hand, enhances the function of the endogenous descending pain suppression system through its central G protein pathway activation, covering the pain period after the effect of ICNB wears off and components such as visceral referred pain. At the same time, it can effectively reduce side effects such as respiratory depression and nausea/vomiting, thus potentially achieving the analgesic goal of "early pain relief, stable throughout the process, and rapid recovery," and may have a positive impact on reducing CPSP.

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

Inclusion criteria

  • Age range: 18 to 75 years old;
  • Patients undergoing elective thoracoscopic lobectomy or segmentectomy;
  • ASA classification levels I-III;
  • BMI 18 ~ 30 kg/m2。
  • Voluntarily participate and sign an informed consent form.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pregnant or lactating women;
  • Allergies or other contraindications to the anesthetics, analgesics, and antiemetic drugs used in the study;
  • Patients with severe sleep apnea syndrome or acute or severe bronchial asthma;
  • Suffering from mental and neurological disorders or cognitive impairment, known or suspected gastrointestinal obstruction, severe liver and kidney dysfunction (Child Pugh score C), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or severe cardiovascular disease, etc;
  • Researchers consider participants who are not suitable to participate in this study and those who refuse to participate.

Treatment and study plan

Tegileridine

Drug

Administer 0.015 mg/kg (maximum 1mg) of tegileridine intravenously 40 minutes before the end of surgery, followed by the connection of a tegileridine patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA)

Other names: Tegi

Intercostal Nerve Block

Procedure

Before closing the chest, the thoracic surgeon injected 3mL of 0.4% ropivacaine into the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th intercostal spaces through thoracoscopy for intercostal nerve block.

Other names: ICNB

Sufentanil

Drug

Administer 0.15 μg/kg (maximum 10 μg) of sufentanil intravenously 40 minutes before the end of surgery, followed by the connection of a sufentanil patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA)

Other names: Sufen

Primary outcomes

  1. VAS (Visual Analog Scale) pain score

    Time frame: 48 hours

    VAS pain score 0-10, the higher scores mean a worse outcome; Analgesic effect assessed during activity in the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 hours post-surgery

Secondary outcomes

  1. total dosage of remedial analgesic drugs

    Time frame: 48hours

    The total consumption of remedial analgesic drugs within 48 hours post-surgery

  2. PCIA-related parameters

    Time frame: 48 hours

    Including total analgesic consumption, number of effective presses, and total number of presses

  3. Incidence of opioid-related adverse events (ORAEs)

    Time frame: 48 hours

    Including Respiratory depression (defined as respiratory rate < 8 breaths/min or SpO₂ < 90%); ② Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV); ③ Pruritus; ④ Dizziness; ⑤ Delayed recovery of gastrointestinal function, etc.

  4. The length of postoperative hospital stay

    Time frame: 10 days

    The length of postoperative hospital stay from the end of surgery to hospital discharge

  5. The quality of sleep

    Time frame: 10 days

    AIS sleep scale was used to assess the quality of sleep

  6. the number of rescue analgesic interventions

    Time frame: 48 hours

    the number of rescue analgesic interventions within 48 hours post-surgery

  7. overall patient satisfaction

    Time frame: 10 days

    overall patient satisfaction post-surgery
