“…Vital signs (body temperature, respiration, pulse, blood pressure) at 10 minutes after the patient entered the room (T0), before anesthesia induction (T1), after tracheal intubation (T2), during skin incision (T3), and during extubation (T4) were monitored [ 11 ]. (1) Wake-up time was recorded by the medical staff of our hospital.…”

“…However, serious complications such as dural puncture, sympathetic block, spinal hematoma, and epidural abscess can also be seen due to epidural application [ 5 ]. Thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB) application has also been used in recent years due to the lower incidence of side effects such as hypotension, urinary retention, and nausea and vomiting compared to TEA [ 4 , 6 ]. With the widespread use of ultrasound (US) in recent years, different thoracic wall block techniques, which are claimed to cause fewer complications, have begun to be applied [ 7 ].…”

“…PTPS, or post-thoracotomy pain, impacts an estimated 25-47% of patients in the post-thoracotomy period. Over 25% of these individuals have moderateto-severe pain, especially after physical exertion, and the majority endure sleep disturbances, difficulties in performing everyday tasks, and compromised quality of life as a whole [3] .…”

“…In order to reduce problems following thoracotomy, thoracic epidural blockade (TEB) with local anaesthetic and opioid medications has been largely considered as the analgesic gold standard. A reduced risk of lung collapse, pneumonia, and discomfort, as well as improved ventilatory mechanics, gas exchange, and early extubation, can occur from the analgesic effects of an epidural [3] . Nevertheless, proficient medical personnel are necessary to perform the insertion, removal, and administration of the continuous infusion of bupivacaine and opioid.…”
