About this trial

The objective of the current study is to compare the efficacy of the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided unilateral Rhomboid intercostal and sub serratus plane block (RISS) versus Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) in Thoracotomy incision.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Bupivacain

    Drug

    After the location will be confirmed through hydrodissection of 1 ml on the plane between the rhomboid major and the underlying intercostal muscles after confirming a negative aspiration via a a 22-gauge short bevel sonovisible needle (Spinocan, B. Braun Melsungen AG, Germany) using an in-plane technique then 10 ml of bupivacaine (concentration 0.25%) will be injected. and its spread will be manifested by the hydrodissection and widening of the plane visualized by ultrasound.

  • Ultrasound

    Device

    A linear US transducer (Phillips-Saronno Italy) was placed vertically 3 cm lateral to the midline to visualize back muscles: the trapezius above, the rhomboid major in the middle, and the erector-spinae muscle on the bottom, as well as the TPs with shimmering pleura in between.
