Single-injection thoracic paravertebral block for postoperative pain treatment after thoracoscopic surgery.
BACKGROUND Thoracoscopic surgery can be associated with considerable postoperative pain. While the benefits of paravertebral block on pain after thoracotomy have been demonstrated, no investigations on the effects of paravertebral block on pain after thoracoscopy have been conducted. We tested the hypothesis that a single-injection thoracic paravertebral block, performed preoperatively, reduces...
متن کاملSingle Dose Preemptive Thoracic Paravertebral Block For Postoperative Pain Relief After Cholecystectomy
The controversy over pre-emptive analgesia continues unabated, with studies both supporting and refuting its efficacy. Forty patients undergoing elective open cholecystectomy were randomized into two equal groups (20 patients each) to either pre-emptive thoracic bolus paravertebral block (PVB) with ropivacaine 0.5% (20 ml), before surgical incision (group I) or to receive the same block after t...
متن کاملSingle-injection thoracic paravertebral block and postoperative analgesia after mastectomy: a retrospective cohort study.
BACKGROUND The treatment of postoperative pain after mastectomy is an area of increasing interest, as this treatment option is now considered a standard of care for those affected by breast cancer. Thoracic paravertebral nerve block (tPVB) using local anesthetics administered before mastectomy can theoretically provide postoperative analgesia, thereby facilitating a more comfortable and shorter...
متن کاملPostoperative paravertebral blocks for thoracic surgery.
Sir,—We were particularly interested in the findings of Drs Conacher and Kokin's radiological study of paravertebral block [1], but feel that this is potentially misleading. Our observations from a continuing series of 45 cases of paravertebral block contrast significantly with the findings in their small study. Using a modification of Moore's technique we have injected 0.75 % bupivacaine 5 ml,...
متن کاملThoracic paravertebral block reduced the incidence of chronic postoperative pain for more than 1 year after breast cancer surgery
Background Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) is used to reduce pain after breast cancer surgery (BCS), but the pain-reduction effects more than 1 year after surgery are unclear. Findings Fifty-one patients underwent BCS at the Niigata City General Hospital from December 2009 through March 2010. To evaluate the long-term effects of TPVB in the reduction of chronic pain after BCS, we retrospe...
