Detailed description

A prospective randomized trial comparing intravenous analgesia alone and in association with loco regional anesthesia consisting in a homolateral Serratus Plan Block (SPB). Loco regional blockade of the serratus is further examined by allocating the patients to two different approaches: the block being performed under US guidance by the Anesthesiologist before the beginning of the procedure, or under direct visualization, by the operating surgeon, before entering the pleural cavity.

Conditions

• Pain, Postoperative
• Lung Neoplasm

Interventions
