Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Group A - Erector Spinae Catheter group
Patients in the experimental group will receive the erector spinae catheter prior the surgery and will be administered local anesthetics for 48 hours post-operatively.
Anesthetic regimen: initial bolus of 20ml 0.5% levobupivacaine before the end of surgery. Then continually ropivacaine 0,2% 5ml/h with intermittent boluses 15ml ropivacaine 0,2% every 4h.
Both groups will receive multimodal analgetic treatment consisting of a patient-controlled (PCA) pump with opioid analgetics and a peripherally acting analgetic metamizol on a regular basis. The PCA pump will be set to intermittent boluses of 3mg piritramide with a lock-out time 15 min and a maximal number of 6 boluses /3 hours. Patients will receive metamizol 2,5g/12hours i.v. on the day of surgery and 500-1000mg / 6 hours orally on the first and second post-operative day.
Erector Spinae Catheter
Patients in the experimental group will receive the Erector Spinae Catheter with an initial bolus ob 20ml 0,5% levobupivacaine prior the surgery and will be administered local anesthetics for 48 hours post-operatively.
Ropivacaine 0.2% Injectable Solution
Patients in the experimental group will receive Ropivacaine 0,2% continous infusion of 5ml/h with boluses 15ml/4h by the Erector Spinae Catheter for 48 hours post-operatively.
Group B - Intercostal block
Patients will receive standard treatment, i.e. the multi-level intercostal block administered at the end of the surgery by the surgeon. They will receive 20ml 0,5% levobupivacaine on 6 levels of the thoracic wall according to the operative wound level.
Both groups will receive multimodal analgetic treatment consisting of a patient-controlled (PCA) pump with opioid analgetics and a peripherally acting analgetic metamizol on a regular basis. The PCA pump will be set to intermittent boluses of 3mg piritramide with a lock-out time 15 min and a maximal number of 6 boluses /3 hours. Patients will receive metamizol 2,5g/12hours i.v. on the day of surgery and 500-1000mg / 6 hours orally on the first and second post-operative day.
Intercostal block
Patients in the comparative group will receive standard treatment, i.e. the multi-level intercostal block with 20ml 0,5% levobupivacaine administered at the end of the surgery by the surgeon.
