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). ⋯ Mean NR values at T1 and T2 in the PVB group were significantly lower than those in the Control group. SBP, HR, PI, and BIS, however, showed no significant differences between the 2 groups, except for SBP at T2. CONCLUSIONS Thoracic PVB prevented an increase in NR values, which quantitatively represent nociceptive levels under general anesthesia, in patients undergoing VATS.

Comparative StudyAssessment of postoperative pain management and comparison of effectiveness of pain relief treatment involving paravertebral block and thoracic epidural analgesia in patients undergoing posterolateral thoracotomy.
TEA (thoracic epidural analgesia) is considered a basic method of analgesia used in thoracic surgeries. PVB (paravertebral block) is an alternative method. The thesis compares effectiveness of both methods in postoperative analgesia with particular focus on assessment of the postoperative pain management quality. ⋯ In the assessment of postoperative pain management quality both analyzed methods are statistically significantly different only in the category of "lowest level of pain within the last 24 hours of measurement", to the benefit of TEA group. No statistically significant difference has been observed between the two study groups with respect to the remaining parameters.
