Comparison of Two Different Methods for Reducing Pain After Lung Surgery

February 14, 2024 updated by: Ferhat Ustuner, Uludag University

Comparison of the Effectiveness of the Combination of Rhomboid Intercostal and Sub-serratus Plan Block and Rhomboid Intercostal Block for Postoperative Analgesis in Video-assisted Thoracopic Surgery (VATS)

The goal of this clinical study is to compare the effectiveness of the Rhomboid Intercostal Block and Sub-Servitus plan block and the effectiveness of the Rhomboid intercostal block in patients with video-supported thoracoscopic surgery. The main question it aims to answer is:

Which of these two blocks more effectively reduces the patients' pain?

Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Rhomboid İntercostal Block (RIB)
Procedure: Rhomboid intercostal block
Patients will be injected with a local anesthetic drug under the rhomboid intercostal muscle before surgery.

Procedure: Rhomboid intercostal and subserratus plane block
Patients will be injected with a local anesthetic drug under the rhomboid intercostal muscle and the serrates anterior muscle before surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative analgesia
Time Frame: first 48 hours postoperatively
Patients' VAS scores and additional analgesic needs in the first 48 hours will be evaluated. VAS (visual pain scale) corresponds to a value between 0 and 10. A value of 0 means no pain, and a value of 10 is the most severe pain.
