Brief Title: Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Paravertebral Block During Non-intubated Thoracoscopic Lung Resections.
Official Title: Pain Blocks in Awake Thoracic Surgery: A Randomized Prospective Trial to Test the Non-inferiority of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in Comparison With Paravertebral Block During Non-intubate, Thoracoscopic Lung Resection.
Study ID: NCT03137576
Brief Summary: A randomized prospective trial to test the non-inferiority of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in comparison with paravertebral block during non-intubated thoracoscopic lung resection
Detailed Description: A prospective randomized trial which aims to evaluate a new technique of peripheral nerve block for pain management, the Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in patients undergoing minimally invasive lung resection in spontaneous breathing, with intravenous sedation ("non-intubated thoracic surgery"). ESPB will be compared with a largely employed procedure for loco regional pain management: the Paravertebral block (PB). Both procedures are performed under ultrasonographic guidance to allow proper visualization of the target site. Surgery is carried out by means of a minimally invasive approach (Video Assisted thoracic Surgery) with two keyhole incisions on the affected side.
