Abstract
Backgound: Postoperative pain after thoracotomy can be severe.
Objective: To assess whether low-dose morphine-assisted thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) reduces pain (as measured by the visual analogue scale - VAS) and opioid consumption more than erector spinae plane block (ESP) in patients after thoracotomy.
Material and methods: 140 patients scheduled for elective thoracotomy (69 with TEA and 71 with ESP) were evaluated. VAS scores, respiratory capacity, nausea, vomiting, pruritus and opioid consumption were recorded at different intervals after the operation (30 min, 2, 6, 12 and 24 hours).
Results: Patients with TEA had significantly lower VAS scores in all postoperative measurements compared to the ESP group (p < 0.001). Respiratory capacity was also higher in the TEA group (p < 0.001). Postoperative opioid consumption was lower in the TEA group (p < 0.001), although there were no differences in intraoperative consumption (p = 1).
Conclusion: Thoracic epidural analgesia with low-dose morphine improves long-term postoperative pain control compared with ESP block.
