Infrared Thermography for Assessment of Thoracic Paravertebral Block: A Prospective Observational Study

Abstract: Background: There was no “gold standard” to assess the success or failure of thoracic paravertebral block (TPVB). Measurement of skin temperature with infrared thermography (IT) would be a reliable method to evaluate the effectiveness of regional blocks. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of using skin temperature difference (Td) determined by IT between the blocked and unblocked side to predict the outcome of TPVB.
