Nefopam as a Multimodal Analgesia for Thoracic Surgery

February 12, 2023 updated by: Eunah Cho, MD, Kangbuk Samsung Hospital

Nefopam as a Multimodal Analgesia for Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

Acute postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is very severe. Because pain after thoracic surgery prevents early recovery, and increases postoperative complications, its is important to prevent pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. In the present study, we will evaluate whether nefopam reduces pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
NO_INTERVENTION: control group
Nefopam will not be administered in this group.
EXPERIMENTAL: nefopam group
Intravenous nefopam 20 mg will be administered twice, immediately after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery.

Nefopam 20 mg is mixed to 100 mL of normal saline, and is infused intravenously over 15 minutes.

20 mg of nefopam is administered intravenously for two times, after induction and at the end of surgery.
