What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the quality of postoperative recovery in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) using the QoR-15T assessment tool. It focuses on the relationship between the QoR-15 score and postoperative pain levels following the use of loco-regional analgesic techniques such as the Erector Spina Plane (ESP) block and paravertebral block. The study aims to provide insights into how these techniques can enhance recovery outcomes after surgery. By assessing patients' recovery quality, the study seeks to identify effective pain management strategies that could improve overall patient experiences.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who are scheduled to undergo video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and are classified as ASA1-3.
Not a fit: Patients who are undergoing more invasive procedures like lobectomy or pneumonectomy, or those who are uncooperative or have neuropsychiatric disorders, may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved postoperative recovery protocols and pain management strategies for patients undergoing VATS.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, similar studies have shown that multimodal analgesia can significantly improve recovery outcomes in surgical patients.
