Nefopam as a Multimodal Analgesia for Thoracic Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Acute postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is very severe. Because pain after thoracic surgery prevents early recovery, and increases postoperative complications, its is important to prevent pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. In the present study, we will evaluate whether nefopam reduces pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Experimental: nefopam group Intravenous nefopam 20 mg will be administered twice, immediately after induction of anesthesia and at the end of surgery. |
Drug: Nefopam
Nefopam 20 mg is mixed to 100 mL of normal saline, and is infused intravenously over 15 minutes.
20 mg of nefopam is administered intravenously for two times, after induction and at the end of surgery.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Pain after 1 hour of surgery [1 hour after surgery.]
Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).
- Pain after 6 hour of surgery [6 hours hours after surgery.]
Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).
- Pain after 12 hour of surgery [12 hours after surgery.]
Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).
- Pain after 24 hour of surgery [24 hours after surgery.]
Acute postoperative pain will be assessed using numerical rating scale from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain ever).
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient-controlled analgesia use [24 hours after surgery]
Fentanyl consumption administered thorough the patient-controlled analgesia machine.
- Rescue analgesics [24 hours after surgery.]
Additional analgesic use during postoperative period.
