Continuous Serratus Anterior Versus Erector Spinae Plane Block Catheters for Postoperative Pain Management Following Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Retrospective Study
Both CESPB and CSAPB are effective regional anesthesia techniques for VATS postoperative pain management with clear clinical benefits over no regional anesthesia. A direct comparison of the analgesic efficacy of CESPB versus CSAPB indicated that CESPB is more effective than CSAPB in terms of pain control. These findings are consistent with existing literature and most recent practice recommendations.
