Effect of liposomal bupivacaine for preoperative thoracic paravertebral blockade on postoperative pain following video-assisted thoracoscopic lung surgery

Author: Wei Y et al. Journal of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Anesthesia, 2025. doi:10.1016/j.accpm.2025.101591 This randomized controlled trial compared liposomal bupivacaine (LB) with ropivacaine for thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) in patients undergoing thoracoscopic lung resection. Sixty patients were enrolled. LB provided pain control comparable to ropivacaine in the early postoperative phase but offered significant delayed benefits. […]
