Intervention groups

1

Description
First, the patient is placed in the supine or lateral decubitus position and a high-frequency linear transducer is used sagittally or transversely on the midaxillary line. The transducer is slowly directed towards the back of the body to reveal the space between the latissimus dorsi and serratus anterior muscles, ribs and pleura. After prep and drape, the needle (22 gauge model Dr. J-602 made by Dr. Japan) is used (in-plane or out of plane). After aspiration, half of the surface solution is injected into the serratus anterior muscle in the depth of the latissimus dorsi muscle and the rest (the other half) in the depth of the serratus anterior muscle, and after the needle is removed, it is placed under pressure and an ice pack. In the first group, ketamine 0.5 mg/kg and 0.4 cc/kg ropivacaine 0.25% and in the second group, in addition to 0.4 cc/kg ropivacaine 0.25%, dexmedetomidine 0.5 macrogram/kilogram was added.
