When compared to intercostal blocks, ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral block appears to preserve lung function and provide better pain control in the immediate postoperative period after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.

Combined EA-GA was associated with improved survival and significantly lower HRs and ORs for mortality and morbidity in patients undergoing elective AAA repair. The survival benefit may be attributable to reduced immediate postoperative adverse events. Based on these findings, EA-GA should be strongly considered in suitable patients.
