Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to investigate the analgesic effects of thoracal paravertebral block in the patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolitotomy. Paravertebral block was applied to the study group. Conventional analgesia methods were applied to the control group.

Detailed Description
Randomization was divided into two groups by using closed envelope method. Postoperative pain scores at rest at 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 24 hours with VAS (0 = no pain, very severe pain = 10) using Visual Analogue Scale was made. VAS at rest and movement (coughing and taking a deep Breath) were evaluated. Patients with VAS> 4 received additional analgesics.

Active Comparator: block group Paravertebral group at Thoracic 9-10 vertebrae level with an in-plane technique advanced ultrasound guided 10 ml bupivacaine hydrochloride (Marcaine 0.5%, Astra Zeneca) in 20 ml volume was enjected in the paravertebral area with real-time visualisation It was observed that the local anesthetic drug spread on the pleura and the pleura was pushed. All blocks were performed by the same experienced anaesthesiologist. |
Procedure: paravertebral block

No Intervention: Control group Conventional analgesia methods were applied to the control group. Control group was relieved by dexketoprofen 50mg intravenously. If the patient was not relieved with dexketoprofen and VAS score >4, tramadol 1 mg kg-1 was administered intravenously. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Patient VAS scores [24 hours]
0=no pain, 10=incredible pain
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Patient Satisfaction scores [at the end of the 24 hours]
0=not satisfied, 5=very good satisfied
