Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Pain Management

Context:

  • Thoracic surgeries necessitate effective pain management strategies to minimize postoperative complications.
  • Traditional analgesia methods may have limitations in providing adequate pain control and facilitating early mobilization.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a simple peroperative local anesthesia technique for analgesia during thoracic operations.
  • To assess the safety and impact of this technique on postoperative outcomes.

Summary:

  • A technique involving peroperative local anesthesia of exposed intercostal nerves was applied to 17 patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
  • Patients received epidural anesthesia with lidocaine via a multi-hole catheter, followed by continuous infusion.
  • The method resulted in significant analgesia, allowing patients to cough and expectorate without pain, and avoiding side effects.

Impact:

  • This approach helps prevent postoperative atelectasis by enabling effective chest physical therapy.
  • It facilitates prompt recovery and reduces the risk of respiratory complications following thoracic procedures.
