Özet
Pain after thoracotomy is intense, and uncontrolled pain can have negative consequences such as impaired respiratory function, delayed recovery, and transition to chronic pain. The aim is to achieve efficient analgesia without further compromising respiratory system or increasing unwanted complication risks with a multimodal regimen. For this reason, thoracic epidural analgesia and recently paravertebral blocks have gained popularity. Proper preparation followed by comprehensive teamwork and meticulous follow-up can ensure patient comfort and safety.
