Continuous Erector Spinae Plane Block versus Intercostal Nerve Block in Patients Undergoing Video-assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Background: The optimal analgesia method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) remains controversial. Intercostal nerve blockade (ICNB) is limited by its duration of action. The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has the potential to provide satisfactory analgesia for VATS; however, the effectiveness of continuous ESP versus surgeon-performed ICNB has not been investigated. The objectives of this study were to establish feasibility of …
