Bayesian Network Meta-Analysis of Postoperative Analgesic Techniques in Thoracoscopic Lung Resection Patients.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Postoperative analgesia in thoracoscopic lung resection is crucial, with several nerve block techniques-including thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA), paravertebral block (PVB), erector spinae plane block (ESPB), intercostal nerve block (INB), and serratus anterior plane block (SAPB)-commonly employed. However, there remains ongoing debate regarding the optimal technique.

Methods

To evaluate and compare the effectiveness of these analgesia methods, a systematic review was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library, identifying relevant randomized clinical trials (RCTs). A Bayesian network meta-analysis was performed to assess postoperative pain management, with subgroup analyses and meta-regression cond
