Randomized controlled trial compares opioid consumption between deep and superficial serratus anterior plane blocks in lung surgery, suggesting effective pain management strategies.
There was lower opioid consumption in the continuous deep SAP block compared to the superficial SAP block at 24 hours; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Continuous analgesia through an indwelling catheter is safe and an effective method for the management of postoperative pain in lung resection surgery.
