Summary

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive technique that provides faster recovery after thoracic surgery. Techniques such as thoracic paravertebral block, Erector Spina Plane Expansion (ESP block) are accepted as loco-regional techniques for VATS. The quality of recovery after anesthesia (QoR) is an important information of the early health components of patients after surgery. QoR-15 offers a valid, reliable, sensitive and easy-to-use method for recovery after surgery. We aimed to investigate the relationship between QoR-15 score and postoperative pain temperature after Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) ESP block and paravertebral spread.

Detailed description

Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive technique that provides faster recovery after thoracic surgery. Techniques such as thoracic paravertebral block, Erector Spina Plane Expansion (ESP block) are accepted as loco-regional techniques for VATS. Despite the improvement in invasiveness against thoracotomy treatment, postoperative pain after VATS was still moderate to severe. In order to accelerate the recovery of patients, a multimodal analgesic should be carefully planned and where it will be beneficial. The quality of recovery after anesthesia (QoR) is an important information of the early health components of patients after surgery. The performance of QoR-15 has been translated into Turkish and validation studies have been conducted on its products. QoR-15 offers a valid, reliable, sensitive and easy-to-use method for recovery after surgery. We aimed to investigate the relationship between QoR-15 score and postoperative pain temperature after Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) ESP block and paravertebral spread.
