Comparing Analgesic Efficacy of Nerve Blocks after Thoracoscopic Surgery: Methodology Is Important.

In patients undergoing single port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, this is evidently unsatisfied postoperative analgesia for successful use of enhanced recovery after surgery protocols, in which multimodal analgesia regimen is recommended and analgesics should be universally titrated to achieve patient comfort and minimal pain, that is, a NRS score of 3 or less. We believe that this study would have provided more useful data comparing efficacy and clinical values of SAPB and INB for postoperative analgesia after single port video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
