Brief summary

Patients scheduled for minimally invasive mitral valve replacement. Each patient will be treated with intravenous (i.v.) oxycodone - patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). Half of the patients will be randomly allocated to Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) blockade group.

Detailed description

Only patients who are qualified for an elective procedure of mitral valve replacement may participate in the study. Each patient will be anesthetized generally. The same drugs will be used in each stage of anesthesia. The induction: etomidate, remifentanil, rocuronium, scolina as required. The maintenance: sevoflurane, remifentanil, rocuronium. The emergence: oxygen, sugammadex or neostigmine a required. Patients will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: PCA or ESP. Among the patients from ESP group will have ESP blockade before the induction of general anesthesia. ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.2 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 40 mL. Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval. This is standard protocol in our department. Only patients who are successfully awakened after the procedure may participate in the study. The pain intensity will be assessed with visual-analogue scale (VAS) at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 hour after the end of anesthesia. The total consumption of oxycodone will be also monitored.

Interventions

Before the beginning of the procedure, ESP blockade will be performed under ultrasound control. A single-shot technique will be used with 0.375 % solution of ropivacaine: 0.2 mL per patients' KG. The maximum dose is 40 mL.

DRUGOxycodone

Each patient, before the end of surgery, will be administered i.v. 0.1 mg of oxycodone. PCA with oxycodone (1mg/mL) will be utilized during the postoperative period: 5-minute interval.

PROCEDUREgeneral anesthesia

Each patient will generally anesthetized and endotracheal tube will be inserted

DRUGparacetamol

Paracetamol will be given i.v. every 6 hours.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain intensityFrom the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperatively. VAS range from 0 (no pain, good outcome) to 100 in millimeters (the worst pain ever, bad outcome).Patients' self-pain assessment with VAS (visual-analogue scale)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Total consumption of oxycodoneFrom the end of anesthesia till 24 hour postoperativelyThe cumulative consumption of oxycodone during 24 hour from the end of anesthesia.
