A Prospective Observational Study Comparing Edge Laminar Block (ELB) and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB) for Postoperative Pain Management After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS)
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This prospective observational study aims to compare the effectiveness of Edge Laminar Block (ELB) and Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB) in managing postoperative pain after Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS). The study will evaluate postoperative pain scores (VAS/NRS), opioid consumption, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), additional analgesic requirements, and patient satisfaction between the two regional analgesic techniques. This research seeks to provide guidance for optimal postoperative pain management in VATS patients.

Treatments
ELB Group
Patients undergoing VATS who received Edge Laminar Block (ELB) for postoperative pain management. ELB involves the injection of local anesthetic at the edge of the thoracic lamina as a regional anesthesia technique. The efficacy and safety of ELB will be evaluated in this group.
SPSIPB Group
Patients undergoing VATS who received Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block (SPSIPB) for postoperative pain management. SPSIPB involves the injection of local anesthetic into the intercostal plane beneath the serratus posterior superior muscle. The efficacy and safety of SPSIPB will be evaluated in this group.
