Opioid-sparing effect of modified intercostal nerve block during single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy: A randomised controlled trial.
Peripheral local anaesthetic blockade has an important role in multimodal postoperative analgesia after video-assisted thoracic surgery. Intercostal nerve block has an opioid-sparing effect after thoracoscopic surgery, but there is little information about an intra-operative opioid-sparing effect. ⋯ We have shown intra-operative opioid-sparing with a modified intercostal nerve block during single-port thoracoscopic lobectomy, with opioid-sparing extending 48 h after surgery. However, the opioid-sparing effect was not associated with a reduction in opioid side effects.
