Key result
Paravertebral nerve blocks are superior to erector spinae plane blocks for both short-term analgesia and opioid-sparing following non-mastectomy breast surgery.
Why the study?
Are paravertebral nerve blocks superior to erector spinae plane blocks for short-term analgesia and opioid-sparing following non-mastectomy surgery?
Are paravertebral nerve blocks superior to erector spinae plane blocks for short-term analgesia and opioid-sparing following non-mastectomy surgery?
Paravertebral nerve blocks may provide superior short-term analgesia and opioid-sparing compared to erector spinae plane blocks following non-mastectomy surgery.
To the Editor We would like to thank Chin for his letter regarding our recent publication.[1 2][1] We concluded that ‘paravertebral nerve blocks (PVB) are superior to erector spinae plane blocks (ESPB) for both short-term analgesia as well as opioid-sparing following non-mastectomy surgery” and
