Erector spinae plane block versus thoracic paravertebral block in pediatric patients undergoing percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a prospective randomized clinical trial
ESPB was not found to be more effective than thoracic PVB for postoperative pain management in children undergoing PCNL procedure. Moreover, intraoperative hemodynamics and maximum sevoflurane concentration were comparable. The time to conduct ESPB was significantly shorter; hence, it could be considered as an easy alternative to thoracic PVB for this procedure.
