Postoperative Pain Management on Patients Undergoing Lung Tumor Resection

April 30, 2024 updated by: Hsin-Yuan Fang, China Medical University Hospital

Postoperative Pain Management on Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracoscopic (VATS) Lung Tumor Resection: a Prospective Cohort Study

Multimodal analgesia (MMA) is an essential part of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The principle of MMA is to manage pain with analgesics of multiple classes acting on distinct target sites through different strategies. MMA can reduce the adverse reaction caused by opioids and improve the quality of recovery from surgery. Inadequate postoperative pain management will increase the risk of complications, including pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, infection, delayed surgical healing, and chronic postoperative pain.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This prospective, observational study is planned to investigate the efficacy of different MMA regimens conducting in our hospital. Patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung tumor resection will be invited to participate in the study and grouped based on the MMA regimens. Anxiety, quality of recovery, pain intensity will be evaluated pre- and post-operatively. Demographic data, surgery record, medicine record and postoperative complications will be gained from medical history system and analyzed.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
NALDEBAIN
Patients injected with dinalbuphine sebacate intramuscularly will be allocated to NALDEBAIN group.
Dinalbuphine sebacate (DS) is a long-acting injectable. With oil-based formulation, DS will slowly releases to blood vessel and be hydrolyzed to nalbuphine after intramuscularly injection. The analgesic effect lasts around 5 to 7 days.
Other Names:
  • Naldebain
Opioids, NSAIDs or acetamol will be administrated as need.
Other Names:
  • A.I.
Opioids, NSAIDs or acetaminophen will be prescribed if necessary.
Other Names:
  • E.A.
CONTROL
Patients receiving postoperative pain management without dinalbuphine sebacate will be allocated to CONTROL group.
Opioids, NSAIDs or acetamol will be administrated as need.
Other Names:
  • A.I.
Opioids, NSAIDs or acetaminophen will be prescribed if necessary.

  • E.A.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative pain intensity
Time Frame: Within 3 days after surgery
Pain intensity is assessed by numerical rating scale (NRS) daily during hospital stay after delivery. NRS is a 11-point scale which labeled from zero (no pain) to ten (worst pain). The area under the curve of NRS are calculated.
Within 3 days after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Consumption of analgesics
Time Frame: Within 7 days after surgery
The mean total consumption of analgesics during the hospital stay after delivery.
Within 7 days after surgery
GAD-7
Time Frame: At baseline, 7 days and 3 months after surgery
This self-administered patient questionnaire is used as a screening tool and severity measure for generalised anxiety disorder (GAD). Respondents are asked to rate each item for frequency of occurrence using a 4-point Likert scale (Not at all = 0, Several days = 1, More than half the days = 2, and Nearly every day = 3). All responses are summed to calculate the total GAD-7 score.
At baseline, 7 days and 3 months after surgery
QoR-15
Time Frame: At baseline, 7 days and 3 months after surgery
The quality of recovery-15 (QoR-15) is a patient-reported outcome measurement measuring QoR after surgery and anesthesia. The scale is arbitrary and ranges from 0 (extremely poor QoR) to 150 (excellent QoR).
At baseline, 7 days and 3 months after surgery
