Why the study?
Do continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide effective analgesia and reduce opioid consumption in thoracic and abdominal surgeries?
Do continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide effective analgesia and reduce opioid consumption in thoracic and abdominal surgeries?
Continuous peripheral nerve blocks, such as thoracic paravertebral and transversus abdominis plane blocks, offer effective analgesia and opioid-sparing benefits for thoracic and abdominal surgeries.
May support TPVB over epidural for thoracotomy analgesia; leaves open TAP refinements for broader abdominal coverage.
