Filter by:Thoracic surgery is characterized by acute perioperative pain. There are different ways to provide analgesia, such as intravenous analgesics (opioids or non-opioids) or loco-regional procedures; these techniques are often used together in the context of a multimodal approach to pain management, in order to exploit their synergistic action and minimize side effects. In this observational prospective multicentric study the investigators evaluate the effectiveness of two routinely administered ultrasound guided loco-regional analgesic techniques in providing analgesia to patients undergoing mini-invasive lung-resective thoracic surgery. The two techniques compared are the serratus anterior plane (SAP) block and the erector spinae plane (ESP) block.
