Randomized Controlled Trial
Ultrasound-Guided Continuous Deep Serratus Anterior Plane Block Versus Continuous Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Perioperative Analgesia in Videoscopic-Assisted Thoracic Surgery.
The deep serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising novel regional anaesthesia technique for blockade of the anterolateral chest wall. Evidence for the efficacy of SAPB versus other analgesic techniques in thoracic surgery remains inadequate. ⋯ The SAPB interfascial plane block is an efficacious alternative method of opioid-sparing analgesia in high-risk thoracic surgical patients as part of an enhanced recovery programme.
