Summary

This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guidedPECS II block with TPVB for postoperative analgesia after VATS.

Detailed description

52 patients (ASA I-III) between 18 and 65 years of age, who were to undergo VATS, were randomized and divided into two groups. (26 patients in each of the PECS and TPVB groups) Thoracic paravertebral block was administered from two consecutive levels for TPVB group and a modified pectoral nerve block was performed in the PECS group. Postoperative analgesia was provided by intravenous morphine infusion using a patient-controlled analgesia device. Postoperative 24-hour total morphine consumption and duration of analgesia were the primary outcome measure. Perioperative remifentanil use, visual analog scale values during at rest and coughing, time of the first analgesic request, and additional analgesic consumption were recorded.
