Comparison of Analgesic Effect and Postoperative Recovery of SAPB Combined With ESPB and TPB After Thoracoscopic Surgery

Overview

After thoracoscopic surgery, patients still face moderate to severe pain. How to effectively control pain and promote postoperative recovery of patients is a challenging problem. Thoracic paraspinal block is effective in controlling pain after thoracoscopic surgery, but it also carries the risk of difficulty in operation and puncture of the pleura. In recent years, erector spinal plane block and serratus anterior plane block have been used for postoperative analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study was to explore whether erector spinal plane combined with serratus anterior plane block can replace thoracic paravertebral block and provide a more complete analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery. Therefore, this study is of great clinical significance.

In a double-blind randomized controlled study, investigators allocated 92 patients undergoing VATS to either SAPB Combined With ESPB or TPB, with both groups receiving otherwise standardized treatment, including multimodal analgesia. The primary outcome was 24-hr opioid consumption. Secondary outcomes included the number of survival analgesia at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours postoperatively ,VAS scores was assessed during resting and coughing statuses at 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hours postoperatively, pulmonary function indexes before and 1, 4, 24 hours after surgery , QOR-15 scores before and 24 hours after surgery, postoperative complications and recovery time nodes drainage tube removal time, discharge time.
