Authors
Abstract
Ultrasound guidance has resulted in a continuous evolution in techniques for pain control for video assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). The objective of this study was to compare Erector Spinae Plane blocks (ESP) with intercostal blocks (ICB) as part of multi-modal analgesia in quality of postoperative pain control and preservation of pulmonary function after VATS.
