The use of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block to optimize anesthetic regimen and improve patient satisfaction for open thoracic surgery: a randomized controlled clinical study
Abstract:Background: The opioid-related side effects exist extensively and have significant adverse effects on patients’ recovery from general anesthesia and patient overall satisfaction after the thoracotomy. Recently, the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been reported to be used as a new effective analgesia for thoracic neuropathic pain. This randomized study was designed to assess whether ultrasound guided ESPB could effectively reduce the intraoperative consumption of opioids, improve the quality of recovery, … Show more
