Key result
The authors argue that continuous paravertebral nerve blockade, rather than single-dose blocks, is necessary to provide effective and prolonged analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery.

Continuous paravertebral nerve blockade is advocated over single-dose blocks to ensure prolonged and effective postoperative analgesia following thoracoscopic surgery.
Does continuous paravertebral nerve blockade provide better and more prolonged postoperative analgesia than single-dose blockade in patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery?
Continuous paravertebral nerve blockade is advocated over single-dose blocks to ensure prolonged and effective postoperative analgesia following thoracoscopic surgery.
Ben-David et al. (2007) conducted a letter in Thoracoscopic surgery. Continuous paravertebral nerve blockade vs. Single-dose paravertebral nerve blockade was evaluated. The authors argue that continuous paravertebral nerve blockade, rather than single-dose blocks, is necessary to provide effective and prolonged analgesia after thoracoscopic surgery.
