About this trial

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are recommended in a multimodal pain management to reduce pain intensity and to spare opioid use. However, there is a controversy in its use in pleurodesis surgery as it could block the process of pleurodesis in surgical pneumothorax. In addition, NSAIDs could increase the risk of pneumothorax recurrence.

The investigators hypothesized that NSAIDs are safe during pleurodesis with a better pain management without increasing the risk of pneumothorax reccurence.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • pleurodesis procedures

    Procedure/Surgery

    All pleurodesis procedures will be conducted with a general anesthesia. The choice of hypnotic, analgesic and neuromuscular drugs will be at the discretion of the physician. Selective orotracheal intubation will be done for all patients with a double lumen tube or a blocker according to centers habits. Regional anesthesia (serratus block, paravertebral block and erector spinae block) will be allowed and chosen at the discretion of the physician. Multimodal pain management will be allowed with the use dexamethasone, ketamine and antinociceptive drugs (nefopam, tramadol, paracetamol at the discretion of the physician. After the surgical procedure, the pleural production of liquid or air will be monitored with a chest tube connected to pleural drainage device according to centers habits. Pain will be monitored with during the hospital stay every 12 h using the pain rate scale graded from 0 to 10. Neuropathic pain will be screened at 48h, 1 months, 6 months and 1 year after the inclusion

  • KETOPROFEN(RP19583)

    Drug

    one intravenous dose of ketoprofen 100 mg followed by 5 doses every 12 h of ketoprofen LP 100 mg (a total regimen of 6 doses of ketoprofen every 12 h for 72h)
