<p>Effects of serratus anterior plane block for postoperative analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery compared with local anesthetic infiltration: a randomized clinical trial</p>

Abstract: Background Serratus anterior plane (SAP) block is a relatively novel technique that can block the lateral cutaneous branches of the intercostal nerves as well as the long thoracic nerve. Purpose Our study aimed to evaluate the effects of SAP block on postoperative pain after thoracoscopic surgery compared with local anesthetic (LA) infiltration. Patients and methods Forty adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery were randomiz… Show more

“…The incidence of side effects such as nausea and vomiting is significantly lower as well [11]. Chen et al demonstrated that SAP blocks provided superior analgesic effect, where pain scores and opioid consumption were significantly lower in the postoperative period [2]. Either of our patients did not require intraoperative opioid use, except when given as rescue analgesia in patient 2.…”

“…Using USG, the anterior serratus muscle appears as a thick hypoechoic appearance below the latissimus dorsi muscle and above the rib cage [5]. To date, there are still no definitive criteria for optimal volume and concentration for local anesthetic in SAP blocks [2]. In this study, SAP block was performed using roughly 0.4 ml/kg of long-acting local anesthetic.…”

“…34 Compared to local anesthetic infiltration, SAPB led to better pain relief and lower opioid consumption after VATS. 35 Kim et al reported that SAPB can be used as the main component of multimodal analgesia for patients undergoing VATS rather than as a direct alternative to PVB or TEB due to the lower pain intensity and the shorter time of analgesia. 36 Abdallah et al confirmed that ultrasound-guided SAPB with 1 µg/kg DEX was safe and effective for patients undergoing VATS; however, only one dose of DEX was assessed.…”

“…One group reported that serratus anterior plane block could provide optimal analgesia for chest tube-related pain. 48 Thirdly, we did not record the amount of ropivacaine although no P group patients suffered from local anesthetic toxicity-related complications. Fourthly, we used 0.3 μg/kg dexmedetomidine in addition to ropivacaine based on previous studies, a dose-response study was not performed to confirm the optimum dexmedetomidine dose.…”
