Abstract

Background: This study aims to compare the results of continuous infusion of local anesthetics through either ON-Q elastomeric pump or thoracic epidural analgesia for management of pain after thoracotomy. Methods: Ninety-seven patients (86 males, 11 females; mean age 56.37 years; range 34 to 86 years) were included in this prospective and randomized study. Patients were randomized into two groups to undergo either ON-Q elastomeric pump system (group 1, n=50) or thoracic epidural analgesia (group 2, n=47) for 24 hours. In both groups, continuous 0.125% bupivacaine infusion was performed from a catheter at a rate of 0.1 mL/kg/hour. Intravenous morphine was provided to all patients through patient controlled analgesia method. Postoperative pain was evaluated with visual analog scale during rest and coughing at baseline and postoperative first, sixth, 12th, and 24th hours.Results: Although visual analog scale rest and coughing scores of group 1 at first, sixth, 12th, and 24th hours were significantly higher than group 2, its baseline values were similar to group 2. Total local anesthetic consumption of group 2 was higher than group 1. Although hypotension was not observed in any patient in group 1, significant hypotension was observed in seven patients (14.9%) in group 2. The incidences of nausea and vomiting were 4% (n=2) in group 1 and 17% (n=8) in group 2.Conclusion: Thoracic epidural analgesia provides superior analgesia compared to ON-Q elastomeric pump system in pain treatment after thoracotomy. Still, having lesser incidence of hypotension and easier technical application, ON-Q elastomeric pump system may be considered as an alternative method to thoracic epidural analgesia.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmada torakotomi sonrası ağrı yönetiminde ON-Q elastomerik pompa veya torasik epidural analjezi yoluyla devamlı lokal anestetik infüzyonunun sonuçları karşılaştırıldı. Çalış­ma­ planı:­ Bu prospektif ve randomize çalışmaya 97 hasta (86 erkek, 11 kadın; ort. yaş 56.37 yıl; dağılım 34-86 yıl) dahil edildi. Hastalar 24 saat boyunca ON-Q elastomerik pompa sistemi (grup 1, n=50) veya torasik epidural analjezi (grup 2, n=47) uygulanmak üzere iki gruba randomize edildi. Her iki grupta devamlı %0.125 bupivakain infüzyonu kateterden 0.1 mL/kg/saat oranında uygulandı. Tüm hastalara hasta kontrollü analjezi yöntemi ile intravenöz morfin verildi. Ameliyat sonrası ağrı görsel analog ölçeği ile istirahat ve öksürük sırasında başlangıçta ve ameliyat sonrası birinci, altıncı, 12. ve 24. saatte değerlendirildi. Bulgu­lar:­ Grup 1’in birinci, altıncı, 12. ve 24. saatlerdeki görsel analog ölçeği istirahat ve öksürük puanları grup 2’den anlamlı olarak yüksek olmasına rağmen, başlangıç değerleri grup 2 ile benzerdi. Grup 2’nin toplam lokal anestezik tüketimi grup 1’den daha yüksek idi. Grup 1’deki hiçbir hastada hipotansiyon gözlemlenmemesine karşın, grup 2’de yedi hastada (%14.9) belirgin hipotansiyon gözlendi. Bulantı ve kusma sıklığı grup 1’de %4 (n=2), grup 2’de %17 (n=8) idi. Sonuç:­ Torakotomi sonrası ağrı tedavisinde torasik epidural analjezi ON-Q elastomerik pompa sistemine göre daha iyi analjezi sağlar. Yine de daha az hipotansiyon sıklığı ve daha kolay teknik uygulaması olan ON-Q elastomerik pompa sistemi, torasik epidural analjeziye alternatif bir yöntem olarak düşünülebilir.
