description Yugang Lu,* Qing Zhou,* Yu Fu,* Zongmei Wen, Xin Lv Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, Shanghai, People’s Republic of China*These authors contributed equally to this workCorrespondence: Zongmei Wen; Xin Lv, Department of Anesthesiology, Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital, Tongji University School of Medicine, No. 507 Zhengmin Road, Shanghai, 200433, People’s Republic of China, Tel/Fax +86 21 65115006, Email wzm1103@126.com; xinlvg@126.comPurpose: Simultaneous bilateral pulmonary resection via uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (UVATS) was safe and feasible for the treatment of bilateral multiple pulmonary nodules. But, it should be noted that considerable postoperative pain at the bilateral surgical site was a crucial issue. The safety and efficacy of bilateral thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) have been reported for postoperative analgesia. But, whether bilateral sequential TPVB can be safely and effectively used in simultaneous bilateral UVATS remains unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the analgesic efficacy and safety of bilateral sequential TPVB after simultaneous bilateral UVATS.Study Design and Methods: In this study, 80 participants scheduled for UVATS will be randomly allocated to the bilateral sequential TPVB group (G2) and the control group (G1). The patient of G2 will be performed bilateral TPVB at 2 time-points: before the start of the first side of pulmonary resection and before the start of the contralateral pulmonary resection. G1 will only receive standard analgesia protocol. The primary outcome is the numeric rating scale score during coughing at 24 h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes include the Prince Henry Pain Score scores, sufentanil consumption, postoperative nausea and vomiting, levels of inflammatory factors, and the Quality of Recovery-40 scores at different time points, as well as chronic pain at postoperative day (POD) 90.Discussion: This is the first prospective trial to determine the safety and effectiveness of ultrasound-guided bilateral sequential TPVB for postoperative analgesia following simultaneous bilateral UVATS. This study also intended to evaluate the effect of this intervention on postoperative quality of recovery and inflammation levels. The final results will provide clinical evidence related to bilateral sequential TPVB, and promote the application of that acting as a more appropriate analgesic method for simultaneous bilateral UVATS.Keywords: thoracic surgery, video-assisted, multiple pulmonary nodules, nerve block, pain measurement
