Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The study was carried out on thirty patients who underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery.Paravertebral space was identified by loss of resistance technique under video-assisted inside thoracic space before chest close.Initiated dose of 0.3ml/kg of bupivacaine 0.125%+fentanyl 2 mcg/ml was administered then continued patient-controlled analgesia with background rate 3ml/h, bolus dose 2ml, lockout interval 10 minutes. Postoperative pain was accessed by Visual Analogue Scale at rest and on coughing; monitor the heart rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate, SpO2, arterial blood gas and spirometry in three postoperative consecutive days.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: PVB using PVC for PCA in VATS
The VATS was performed.Paravertebral space was identified by loss of resistance technique combined with video-assisted inside thoracic space before chest close.PVC was inserted.Initiated dose of 0.3ml/kg of Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 1.25mg/ml and Fentanyl Citrate 2 micrograms/ml was administered then continued PCA with background rate 3ml/h, bolus dose 2ml was infused through PVC.
Procedure: VATS
General anesthesia was induced with 2.0 mg/kg of propofol, 2.0 mg/kg of fentanyl, and 1.0 mg kg/1 of rocuronium and maintained with continuous infusion 6-12mg/kg/h of propofol,injected 2.0 mg/kg of fentanyl and 0.15 mg/ kg of rocuronium every 30 minutes . All patients were intubated with a double-lumen endobronchial tube for one-lung ventilation.The VATS (Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery) was performed.
Other Names:
  • Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery
Procedure: PVB using PVC
At the end of the surgery, the upper edge of the spinous process of the thoracic vertebral body was recognized. With an epidural needle (Tuohy 22 G; Braun, Melsungen, Germany), the injection point was punctured 2 cm lateral to the midline. The paravertebral space was entered by advancing the Tuohy needle over the superior border of the transverse process. Once in the right place, the PVC was placed through the needle, checking the tip remained placed when removing the needle. The advance of the needle and the entering of the catheter into the paravertebral space were verified all the time by the surgeon using the camera. The PVC (Paravertebral Catheter ) was inserted at this point preversed at this area.
Other Names:
  • Paravertebral block using paravertebral catheter
Drug: PCA
PVC was inserted.Initiated dose of 0.3ml/kg of Bupivacaine Hydrochloride 1.25mg/ml and Fentanyl Citrate 2 micrograms/ml was administered then continued PCA (Perfusor space pump,Germany)with background rate 3ml/h, bolus dose 2ml was infused through PVC.
Other Names:
  • Patient controlled analgesia

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants.

Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
