Erector Spinae Plane Block Combined with Serratus Anterior Plane Block Versus Thoracic Paravertebral Block for Postoperative Analgesia and Recovery After Thoracoscopic Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Non-inferiority Clinical Trial

ConclusionUltrasound-guided ESPB combined with SAPB is non-inferior to PVB in terms of morphine consumption at postoperative 24 h and postoperative recovery. But, this approach can significantly reduce morphine consumption in the early postoperative period (0 –8 h) after thoracoscopy with lower incidence of ISP. It is a simpler and safer operation.
