Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pain after thoracotomy is the most severe pain experienced by the patient. Good pain control after the operation provides comfortable respiration and reduces the development of chronic pain and complications.

we aimed to compare SAPB with IBregarding postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) scores and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing thoracotomy operation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients who underwent thoracotomy operation in our hospital between May 2016 and June 2017 were examined. A retrospective evaluation was made of the data that was retrieved from the records of a total of 49 patients aged 18-75 years, ASA I-III, who were applied with Intercostal (IB) or Serratus anterior plane(SAPB) for a thoracotomy operation. The patient information was retrieved from the patient records and anesthesia block forms. The data were examined in respect of age, sex, height, weight, ASA, operation type, operating time, the amount of postoperative analgesic consumption, VAS at 1.,2.,4.,6.,12.,24. hours and complications (atelectasis, nausea, vomiting, hypotension and bradycardia).

Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS program for Mac, version 17.0 (SPSS,Chicago,IL). Descriptive statistics are presented as mean and SD, and as the number of cases (n) and the corresponding percentage (%) for nominal variables. T tests were performed for normally continuous variables. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-parametric variables. A value of p \< 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intercostal block

Anesthesia induction was performed to all patients .At the end of the operation some patients were performed with intercostal block by the chest surgeon. For 24 hours postoperatively, tramadol was administered with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) All patients were extubated after the operation and transferred to ICU.

Intercostal block

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Intercostal block +patient controlled analgesia

Serratus anterior plane block

Anesthesia induction was performed to all patients. At the end of the operation some patients were performed SAPB under Ultrasound guidance by the same anesthetist.For 24 hours postoperatively, tramadol was administered with patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) All patients were extubated after the operation and transferred to ICU.
