Randomized Controlled Trial
Programmed intermittent bolus infusion vs. continuous infusion for erector spinae plane block in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery: A double-blinded randomised controlled trial.
The optimal form of administration for erector spinae plane block has not been established. ⋯ PIB for erector spinae plane block in video-assisted thoracic surgery resulted in a larger anaesthetised area and required a lower anaesthetic dose to maintain the analgesic effect. Therefore, it is more suitable for erector spinae plane block than continuous infusion.
