Effects of Thoracic Paravertebral Block on Nociceptive Levels After Skin Incision During Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
2019
Background
Regional anesthesia provides excellent analgesic effects after surgery. However, the effects of regional anesthesia on nociceptive levels during surgery under general anesthesia have not been quantitatively evaluated. To reveal the effects of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) on nociceptive levels after skin incision during general anesthesia, we performed a retrospective cohort study in patients without serious preoperative conditions or comorbidities undergoing elective video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). Nociceptive levels during general anesthesia were calculated using our previously determined Nociceptive Response (NR) equation, which utilizes common hemodynamic parameters.
