Effect of serratus anterior plane block combined with oxycodone for transition analgesia on preventing emergence agitation after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Emergence agitation (EA) is more commonly observed after thoracic surgeries and can lead to serious complications. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) combined with oxycodone for transitional analgesia in preventing EA after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). A total of 121 adult patients scheduled for VATS under one-lung ventilation anesthesia were enrolled and randomly divided into three groups: preoperative SAPB without opioids for transitional analgesia near the end of the surgery (SAPB + SAL group, n = 39); preoperative SAPB with sufentanil at 0.1 µg/kg for transitional analgesia (SAPB + SF group, n = 42); and preoperative SAPB with oxycodone at 0.1 mg/kg for transitional analgesia (SAPB + OCD group, n = 40).
