What this Trial Is About
Effective pain management after thoracic surgery is crucial to prevent breathing difficulties and reduce the risk of lung complications such as atelectasis or pneumonia. This research compares two regional anesthesia methods used to manage pain after minimally invasive lung surgery called video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery VATS in adults. It aims to determine if an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block ESPB offers similar pain relief and opioid use compared to a thoracoscopically-guided intercostal nerve block ICNB.
