Intercostal nerve cryoablation versus thoracic epidural analgesia for minimal invasive Nuss repair of pectus excavatum: a protocol for a randomised clinical trial (ICE trial)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "BMJ Open"
DOI: 10.1136/bmjopen-2023-081392
Abstract: Introduction Epidural analgesia is currently considered the gold standard in postoperative pain management for the minimally invasive Nuss procedure for pectus excavatum. Alternative analgesic strategies (eg, patient-controlled analgesia and paravertebral nerve block) fail in accomplishing… read more here.
