ESP vs ESP With PECS

February 27, 2019 updated by: Michał Borys, Medical University of Lublin

Efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Pectoral Fascia Block in Patients Undergoing Mitral Valve Repair Through the Right Mini-thoracotomy

Patients scheduled for minimally invasive mitral valve repair. Each patient will be treated with intravenous (i.v.) oxycodone - patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Patients will be allocated to one of the groups: erector spinae plane (ESP) block or EPS with pectoral fascia (PECS) block.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Only patients who are qualified for an elective procedure of mitral valve replacement may participate in the study. Each patient will be anesthetized generally. The same drugs will be used in each stage of anesthesia. The induction: etomidate, remifentanil, rocuronium, scolina as required. The maintenance: sevoflurane, remifentanil, rocuronium. The emergence: oxygen, sugammadex or neostigmine a required.

Patients will be randomly allocated to one of two groups: ESP or PECS. Among the patients from ESP group will have ESP blockade before the induction of general anesthesia. ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.1 mL per patient KG. The maximum dose is 20 mL.

Patients from PECS group will receive ESP block and PECS I and II type block with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine (up to 20 mL of local anesthetic).

Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 7-minute interval. This is standard protocol in the investigator's department.

Only patients who are successfully awakened after the procedure may participate in the study.

The pain intensity will be assessed with visual-analogue scale (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour after the end of anesthesia.

The total consumption of oxycodone will be also monitored.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
EXPERIMENTAL: ESP
Before the induction of general anesthesia, Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blockade will be done. Postoperative analgesia is provided with intravenous oxycodone. Patient-controlled analgesia pump (PCA) will be used for this purpose.
Before the beginning of the procedure, ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.1 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 20 mL.
Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval.
Each patient will generally anesthetized and endotracheal tube will be inserted
Other Names:
  • GA
Paracetamol will be given i.v. every 6 hours.
EXPERIMENTAL: PECS
Before the induction of general anesthesia, Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block and Pectoral fascia type I and II will be done. Postoperative analgesia is provided with intravenous oxycodone. Patient-controlled analgesia pump (PCA) will be used for this purpose.
Before the beginning of the procedure, ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.1 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 20 mL.
Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval.
Each patient will generally anesthetized and endotracheal tube will be inserted
Other Names:
  • GA
Paracetamol will be given i.v. every 6 hours.
Before the beginning of the procedure, PECS type I and II blocks will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.1 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 20 mL.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total consumption of oxycodone
Time Frame: From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively
The cumulative consumption of oxycodone during 24 hour from the end of anesthesia. Less is better, less intense pain.
From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Pain intensity measured by VAS
Time Frame: From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively
Patient self-pain assessment on VAS (visual-analogue scale). VAS range from 0 (no pain, good outcome) to 100 in millimeters (the worst pain ever, bad outcome)
From the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively
