| Core Tip |
his prospective study compares the analgesic efficacy of unilateral continuous erector spinae block (ESB) vs thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) in patients undergoing thoracotomy, evaluating pain scores and perioperative hemodynamics. While rescue opioid requirements within 24 hours post-extubation were comparable between groups, resting numerical rating scale scores at 0 hour, 6 hours, and 72 hours were significantly higher in the ESB cohort. Hemodynamically, the ESB group maintained higher mean arterial pressures, whereas TEA was associated with greater hypotensive episodes, necessitating significantly more vasopressor support to sustain mean arterial pressures ≥ 65 mmHg at 0 hour and 6 hours. Although TEA demonstrates superior analgesia, its use is limited by increased hemodynamic instability, suggesting ESB as a viable alternative when cardiovascular compromise is a concern. |
