Trial summary

Objective: The authors hypothesized that combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is as effective as erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

About this study

Official title: Comparision of the Effects of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Block and Combined Deep and Superficial Serratus Anterior Plane Block on Perioperative Analgesia for Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery.

Objective: The authors hypothesized that combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is as effective as erector spinae plane block (ESPB) for intraoperative and postoperative analgesia for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Design: A prospective randomized controlled study. Participants: Adult patients undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Interventions: Preoperative SAPB or ESPB implementation.

Read the detailed description

Plane blocks implemented on preoperative course on 35 patients for each group. Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores (0-10), intraoperative and postoperative analgesic consumption was measured using Mann-Whitney test. In the postoperative phase, opioid side effects, complications related to plane blocks, mobilization time and length of hospital stay was recorded and measured.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • erector spinae plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Erector spinae plane block was implemented on preoperative course on 35 patients. Intraoperative analgesic (Fentanyl) consumption was measured for intraoperative effects of the erector spinae plane block. Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, from 0 to 10) scores and postoperative analgesic (Morphine) consumption was measured using Mann-Whitney test.

  • combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane blockProcedure or surgery

    Combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block was implemented on preoperative course on 35 patients. Intraoperative analgesic (Fentanyl) consumption was measured for intraoperative effects of the erector spinae plane block Postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS, from 0 to 10) scores and postoperative analgesic (Morphine) consumption was measured using Mann-Whitney test.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. postoperative analgesic effects

    The primary outcome is compare the postoperative analgesic effects of SAPB and ESPB applied under USG guidance before surgery in patients scheduled for VATS using VAS (Visual Analogue Scale from 0 to 10).

    Measured: first 48 hours

  2. intraoperative analgesic effects

    The primary outcome is compare the intraoperative analgesic effects of SAPB and ESPB applied under USG guidance before surgery in patients scheduled for VATS by measuring perioperative fentanyl consumption in both groups.

    Measured: intraoperative phase

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. side effects

    The secondary aim was to compare the opioid side effects. Patients were informed about opioid side effects and asked whether side effects were present.

    Measured: first 48 hours

  2. complications

    The secondary aim was to compare the complications related to the applied block. Patients were examined and evaluated for any complications related to the block.

    Measured: first 48 hours

  3. mobilization

    The secondary aim was to compare the mobilization time

    Measured: first 48 hours

  4. stay of hospital

    length of stay in the recovery unit and hospital

    Measured: first 4 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing erector spinae plane block and combined deep and superficial serratus anterior plane block in people with Analgesia and Pain, Postoperative, run by Uludag University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Oct 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative analgesic effects (time frame: first 48 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Oct 2023.
