    Analgesia after thoracotomy: Epidural fentanyl/bupivacaine compared with intercostal nerve block plus intravenous morphine
    (W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2004) Concha, M; Dagnino, J; Cariaga, M; Aguilera, J; Aparicio, R; Guerrero, M
    Objectives: Intercostal nerve blockade plus intravenous (IV) patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) could be an easier and safer alternative to epidural analgesia for postthoracotomy pain, but information about the efficacy of this technique is scarce. The objective of this randomized study was to compare the quality of analgesia and lung function in 2 groups of patients undergoing pulmonary surgery through a posterolateral thoracotomy.
