Comparing erector spinae plane (ESP) and thoracic paravertebral (TPV) block analgesic effect after elective video-assisted thoracic surgery: a randomized, multiple-blinded, non-inferiority trial
The study did not demonstrate the non-inferiority of the ESP block compared to the TPV block for postoperative analgesia following VATS. However, both blocks provided effective pain relief with no significant differences in outcomes. The findings suggest that both ESP and TPV blocks are viable alternatives to TEA.
