Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess whether adding dexmedetomidine to ropivacaine during a Serratus Anterior Plane Block (SAP) could help reduce pain for patients after thoracotomy surgery.
- - It involved 74 patients who were randomly assigned to two groups: one receiving only ropivacaine and the other receiving ropivacaine with dexmedetomidine, with various health parameters measured post-surgery.
- - Results showed that the group receiving dexmedetomidine experienced significantly longer-lasting pain relief and lower heart rate and blood pressure, along with a reduced need for painkillers compared to the control group.
Background: Postoperative pain control after thoracotomy is very important, and if not controlled, it can cause severe complications.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare dexmedetomidine and ketamine in serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) in pain control after thoracotomy.
Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 74 patients aged 18 to 60 years old with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class I or II who were referred to Imam Khomeini hospital in Ahvaz, Iran, for thoracotomy and randomly divided into two groups.
Background: Managing the amount of use of sedatives due to their high side effects in the intensive care unit is essential. Sedation-agitation protocols may play an important role in this regard. However, they have not been practically applied in Iran.
