Two-Point Versus Single-Point Serratus Anterior Plane Block for Post-Thoracoscopic Surgery Analgesia
Comparison of Ultrasound-Guided Two-Point Combined vs Single-Point Serratus Anterior Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
Postoperative pain remains a common clinical challenge in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), impairing early recovery and increasing opioid consumption. The serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a widely used regional analgesic technique for thoracic surgery, but conventional single-point injection may have limited spread of local anesthetics, resulting in suboptimal analgesia in some patients. Preliminary anatomical evidence suggests that two-point combined SAPB may achieve wider dermatomal coverage and better analgesic efficacy.
This is a single-center, prospective observational cohort study conducted at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, China. A total of 88 adult patients scheduled for elective unilateral VATS will be consecutively enrolled and naturally assigned to either the two-point combined SAPB group (injection at the 3rd and 5th rib levels, total 30 ml local anesthetic) or the single-point SAPB group (injection at the 5th rib level, 30 ml local anesthetic) according to routine clinical practice.
The primary outcome is the verbal rating scale (VRS) pain score on coughing at 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include resting and dynamic pain scores at multiple time points, cumulative opioid consumption at 24 and 48 hours, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, block-related complications, length of hospital stay, and Quality of Recovery-15 (QoR-15) scores. This study aims to provide clinical evidence for optimizing perioperative analgesic strategies for thoracoscopic surgery.

Szczegółowy opis
Study Background Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is the standard minimally invasive approach for thoracic diseases, yet over 60% of patients experience moderate-to-severe postoperative pain within 24 hours, which impairs respiratory function, increases opioid consumption and prolongs hospital stay. The serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a widely used fascial plane block for thoracic analgesia, but conventional single-point injection often yields inconsistent anesthetic spread due to individual anatomical variations, resulting in suboptimal analgesia in some patients. Preliminary anatomical and clinical evidence suggests that two-point combined SAPB may achieve wider dermatomal coverage and superior analgesic efficacy, but confirmatory evidence in VATS patients remains limited.
Study Design & Population This is a single-center, prospective observational cohort study conducted at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, China. A total of 88 eligible patients aged 18-85 years with ASA physical status I-III, scheduled for elective unilateral VATS and planned for perioperative SAPB, will be consecutively enrolled. Patients will be naturally allocated to the two-point group or single-point group according to the clinical regimen chosen by the attending anesthesiologist, with no researcher-initiated randomization. Exclusion criteria include local infection at the puncture site, allergy to amide local anesthetics, chronic opioid use, severe coagulopathy, and cognitive impairment precluding pain assessment.
Interventions & Outcomes All blocks are performed under ultrasound guidance by anesthesiologists with ≥50 prior SAPB experiences. The two-point group receives 15 ml of local anesthetic at both the 3rd and 5th rib levels (total 30 ml); the single-point group receives 30 ml at the 5th rib level. Standardized general anesthesia and postoperative analgesia protocols are applied uniformly to all patients. The primary outcome is the verbal rating scale (VRS) pain score on coughing at 24 hours postoperatively. Secondary outcomes include resting and dynamic pain scores at multiple time points, cumulative opioid consumption at 24 and 48 hours, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, block-related complications, length of hospital stay, and QoR-15 recovery quality scores.

Two-Point SAPB Group
Patients in this cohort receive ultrasound-guided two-point combined serratus anterior plane block for perioperative analgesia as part of routine clinical practice.
A total of 30 mL local anesthetic is administered, with 15 mL injected deep to the serratus anterior muscle at the 3rd rib level and 15 mL at the 5th rib level.
|
Ultrasound-guided fascial plane block for perioperative thoracic analgesia.
Local anesthetic is deposited deep to the serratus anterior muscle at two separate rib levels, with equal volume split between the 3rd and 5th intercostal spaces.
