摘要
This prospective and randomized study demonstrates the beneficial effect of intrathoracic intercostal block with bupivacaine on the recovery of pulmonary function after thoracotomy. A significantly (p < 0.05) better forced expiratory volume was seen in the treated group in the early postoperative period. Similar findings were observed in forced vital capacity. Also, the requirements for analgesics were decreased in the treated group. We believe that intrathoracic intercostal block with bupivacaine when properly utilized can be a good adjuvant in the improvement of pulmonary function after thoracotomy. © 1979, The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.
