【 摘 要 】

Background & Objective: Standard pain management technique after thoracic surgery is thoracic epidural analgesia, parentral analgesics and nerve blocks. Thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) has many known complications, including respiratory depression and urinary retention. Serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a simple procedure, which provides postoperative pain relief by blocking the lateral cutaneous branches of T2–T9 spinal neurons. We compared the analgesic efficacy of both of these techniques in thoracotomy patients in this randomized trial.
