Abstract

Introduction. Use of analgesics is an evitable and necessary part of thoracic surgery. This study was designed to compare analgesic effects of persistent thoracic EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA versus persistent INTERCOSTAL NERVE BLOCK and determine their role in OPIOID need after THORACOTOMY.Methods. 116 patients above 20 years old who were candidate for THORACOTOMY through either posterolateral or thoracoabdominal incision were situatedin one of three group for pain relief. For the first group, pain relieved by petidine and pentazosin. In 2nd group, pain relived by thoracic EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA with bupivacaine catheters which were inserted between costal and plural space. In 3rd group, bupivacaine was introduced through 3rd and 4th intercostal space by catheter (2 mg/kg in devided doses). Pain was meseared by visual analogue scale and quantified by surgical residents through a method bupivacaine was injected. If Bupivacaine did not relieve pain, then OPIOID was used as adjuvant.Results. The study showed that epidural group needed less OPIOIDs and had more cooperation in comparison with two other group. The intercostal group complained of pain at chest tube site.Discussion. In thoracotomized patients, pain control is more effective via EPIDURAL ANESTHESIA in turns of OPIOID side effects, expenses and patient comfort.
