ABSTRACT

Objective To compare the postoperative analgesic effect between serratus plane block and thoracic paravertebral block in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods Sixty patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery, 38 males and 22 females, aged 18-65, BMI 18-25 kg/m2, falling into ASA physical status I or II.They were divided into groups S and T by random number table, 30 cases in each group.Two groups of patients were treated with general anesthesia with endobronchial intubation and PCIA after operation.Group S performed Ultrasound-guided serratus plane block and group T performed thoracic paravertebral block, 0.4％ropivacaine 30 ml were used in the two groups.The two groups of patients were observed 30 min after block, and the sensory block plane was measured with acupuncture and recorded.Recording operation time, onset time and duration of the block.Resting and cough VAS score were recorded at 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, and 48 hafter surgery.The first pressing time of the analgesic pump and times of press analgesic pump, the amount of sufentanil used and times the number of cases of useing piperidine were recorded within 48 hafter operation.Block related complications and analgesic related adverse reactions were recorded.Results Compared with group T, the operation time of the block obviously shortening but the duration obviously lengthening (P<0.01).Resting and cough VAS score at 12 hafter surgery significantly was lower (P<0.01).The first pressing time of the analgesic pump obviously lengthening, the number of press analgesic pump and the amount of sufentanil used significantly were reduced (P<0.01) in group S.Conclusion Ultrasound guided SP block and TPVB block can provide good postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery, but SP block is more durable, with less operation time and complications than TPVB block, and can effectively reduce the opioid demand and incidence of nausea and vomiting after operation.
