Summary

The aim of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the changes of skin temperature after the paravertebral block measured by infrared thermography.

Detailed description

Methods: Patients scheduled for elective surgery with paravertebral block will receive infrared thermography measures 5 min before the block and continous to 20 min after the block. The sensitivity, specificity of infrared thermography as diagnostic methods will be determined by receiver operator characteristic analysis.

Conditions

• Paravertebral Block
