Effectiveness of Combining Thoracic Paravertebral Nerve Block and Serratus Anterior Plane Block in Non-Intubated Spontaneous-Ventilation Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Retrospective Case-Control Study
The combined use of TPNB and SAPB in non-intubated VATS substantially improves pain management, reduces opioid consumption and minimizes inflammation and postoperative complications compared to the use of individual blocks. These findings advocate for the broader adoption of combined nerve block techniques to enhance patient outcomes in VATS procedures.
