Brief Summary

Thoracotomy is among the most painful surgical procedures and can cause severe pain. Postoperative pain causes many complications. Therefore, pain management is important in patients undergoing thoracotomy. For this purpose, systemic analgesics are used along with ultrasound-guided nerve blocks in thoracotomy pain. The effectiveness of thoracic paravertebral block and serratus plane block in the treatment of post-thoracotomy pain will be evaluated by comparing their effectiveness and complications on postoperative pain. Since the epidural spread of the thoracic paravertebral block is more effective, the effectiveness of postoperative pain relief will be more effective

Detailed Description

Thoracotomy is among the most painful surgical procedures and can cause severe pain. This pain causes postoperative complications in patients who have thoracotomy surgery. Uncontrolled pain can cause respiratory and thromboembolic events. Therefore, effective pain management is important in patients undergoing thoracotomy. Investigators aim to compare the analgesic effectiveness and complications of thoracic paravertebral block and serratus anterior plane block in relieving thoracotomy pain, which is one of the most painful surgical procedures. It is aimed to compare the effectiveness and complications of thoracic paravertebral block and serratus plane block in postoperative pain control after thoracotomy. Providing pain control reduces postoperative complications and reduces hospital stay, which increases patient comfort and reduces costs. In this research, postoperative morphine consumption after block applications will be compared, and patients' analgesic needs will be evaluated according to the participants' VAS score. Post-operative 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 24th. Morphine consumption will be evaluated by monitoring the hours. It will be evaluated whether there is a need for additional analgesics. During the operation, the patient's heart rate, blood pressure, saturation and temperature variable values will be closely monitored. Standard monitoring methods will be used when examining these parameters.

GroupInterventionDescription
Serratus Plane BlockSerratus Plane BlockUltrasound (US) -guided serratus plane block (SPB) with 20 ml 0.5 % bupivacaine will performe preoperatively to all patients in the SPB group.
Paravertebral BlockParavertebral BlockUltrasound (US) -guided paravertebral block (PVB) with 20 ml 0.5 % bupivacaine will performe preoperatively to all patients in the PVB group.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Morphin consumptionduring postoperative 24 hour

Patient in both groups will provide with intravenous patient-controlled analgesia device containing morphine for postoperative analgesia

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)during postoperative 24 hour

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale.For example , 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable
