Postoperative Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
in this study the investigators will investigate and compare the analgesic efficacy of two techniques (continuous TPVB and continuous ESPB) in relieving thoracotomy pain
Detailed description
General Anesthesia will be induced with Fentanyl (1-2 μg/kg), Propofol (2-3 mg/kg), and Atracurium (0.5-0.8 mg/kg). Pressure controlled Volume guarantee Ventilation mode will be used to maintain O2 Saturation Above 98% and End tidal co2 Around 30-35 mmHg. Anesthesia will be maintained with Isoflurane 1.2 Minimum Alveolar Concentration inhalation after induction Group A: Patients will receive Loading dose of 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine then continuous infusion U/S-Guided TPVB of 5 ml/h of 0.125% bupivacaine started through the catheter before the surgical procedure intraoperative and Group B: Patients will receive Loading dose of 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine then continuous U/S-Guided ESPB of 5 ml/h of 0.125% bupivacaine started through the catheter before the surgical procedure intraoperative.
Interventions
continuous infusion U/S-Guided TPVB of 5 ml/hr of 0.125% bupivacaine started through the catheter before the surgical procedure intraoperative.
continuous U/S-Guided ESPB of 5 ml/hr of 0.125% bupivacaine started through the catheter before the surgical procedure
