Comparison of the Effect of Preoperative and Postoperative Erector Spina Plan Block and Paravertebral Block on Postoperative Pain in Video Assisted Thoracic Surgery (VATS)

Ankara University·interventional·Posted Jul 5, 2024·Updated May 15, 2026

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Erector spina plan block (ESP) and Paravertebral block for Anesthesia and 3 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The aim of this prospective controlled randomised clinical trial was to identify the analgesic method that is more effective than two different regional analgesia techniques routinely used for pain control after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). The effects of paravertebral block and erector spina plan (ESP) block on acute pain, need for additional analgesics and incidence of chronic pain after video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) will be compared before surgical incision (pre-emptive) and at the end of surgery. The aim is to demonstrate that the ESP block, a relatively newer method in the literature, provides analgesia comparable to that of the paravertebral block.

Interventions

Erector spina plan block (ESP)procedure

In both groups, the relevant methods will be applied at the level of the surgical incision before the surgical incision (pre-emptive) after the patient is asleep and before the patient wakes up at the end of surgery. The dose of local anaesthetic to be administered is the same for both groups. Drug content to be administered\*: total 25 cc volume (13.5 ml 0.5% bupivacaine + 5 ml 2% lidocaine + 1.5 ml morphine (morphine diluted with 0.9% NaCl to 1mg/ml) + 5 ml 0.9% NaCl) (These doses are the routine doses applied in such surgeries in our clinic) \* Local anaesthetic drug doses in regional anaesthesia: source: Kirk, P.
