ASSESSMENT Of Operative And Post Operative Pain Relief By Interpleural Analgesia For Thoracic Upper Abdominal Surgery

The present study included 60 patients scheduled for upperabdominal, breast, and renal surgery. These patients were dividedinto three groups, 20 patients each according to the anesthetic andanalgesic regimen. Group A: Interpleural regional anesthesia Group Band C: Interpleural analgesia and intercostals analgesia , Group C ,The comparison between the two groups as regards these factors showed no statistically significant difference at all times ofmeasurement between the two groups ,Pain analysis revealed the following:The pre analgesic ”PHPS” score values in group B rangedfrom 1-4, with a mean value of 2.5 ± 0.88, and a median of 3.Two hours post analgesia; the ”PHPS” score values ranged from 03,with a mean value of 0.7 ± 0.92, and median of O. There is ahighly statistically significant difference between the both values ofPHPS”. The preoperative ”PHPS” score values in group C rangedfrom 1-4, with a mean value of 2.7 ± 0.96, and a median of 3.Two hours post operatively; the ”PHPS” score values ranged from0-3, with a mean value of 0.45 ± 0.82, and median of O. There is ahighly statistically significant difference between the both values ofPHPS”. Comparing ”PHPS” score values in both groups B and C;there were no statistically significant differences between bothgroups, neither pre analgesia, nor post analgesia.
