Clinical Trial: Effect of Intercostal Nerve Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine on Quality of Recovery in VATS Partial Pneumonectomy

U.S., April 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07512635) titled 'Effect of Intercostal Nerve Block With Liposomal Bupivacaine on Quality of Recovery in VATS Partial Pneumonectomy' on March 22.

Brief Summary: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach for partial pneumonectomy, but postoperative pain remains a major challenge affecting recovery. Intercostal nerve block (ICNB) with conventional local anesthetics provides limited duration of analgesia, often insufficient to cover the peak pain period after surgery. Liposomal bupivacaine is a long-acting formulation designed to provide extended analgesia up to 72 hours. This study aims to evaluate the effect of preop...
