Brief Title: Pain After Lung Cancer Surgery - Comparing Traditional Versus Prolonged Release Nerve Blockades
Official Title: Pain After Thoracoscopic Lung Surgery - the Effect of Intercostal Nerve Blockades With Standard Bupivacaine and Liposomal Bupivacaine - a Randomised Controlled Feasibility Trial
Study ID: NCT05038007
Brief Summary: To investigate the effect of liposomal bupivacaine compared with bupivacaine hydrochloride for intercostal blockades for patients undergoing Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
Detailed Description: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive routine procedure. It's less invasive than thoracotomy but postoperative pain is still a problem. At Aalborg University Hospital, intercostal blockades with bupivacaine is used as standard pain treatment for patients undergoing VATS. Adding adjuvants to the blockades may prolong the effect. The aim of this study is to examine if intercostal nerve blockades with liposomal bupivacaine improves postoperative pain management compared to intercostal nerve blockades with bupivacaine hydrochloride.
