No results posted yet for this study

Summary

To validate the efficacy of miniaturized ultrasound needle transducer as the primary guide for thoracic regional anesthesia.

Conditions

  • Thorax; Pain, Spine, With Radicular and Visceral Pain
  • Acute Post-thoracotomy Pain
  • Pain, Postoperative
  • Ultrasound Therapy; Complications

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intercostal nerve blocks

Intercostal nerve block is a regional anesthetic procedure for peri-operative pain management. It inhibits the action of the ipsilateral sensory and motor branches, and produces analgesic effects at the targeted thoracic level.

PROCEDURE

Paravertebral block

Paravertebral block is the technique of injecting local anesthetic alongside the thoracic vertebra close to where the spinal nerves emerge from the intervertebral foramen. This produces unilateral, segmental, somatic, and sympathetic nerve blockade, which is effective for anesthesia and in treating acute and chronic pain of unilateral origin from the chest and abdomen
