Abstract
It appears that intraoperative IB with bupivacaine liposome at 6 levels during thoracotomy provided significantly better pain control in postoperative days 1 and 3, compared to EPI in this retrospective study. This technique is simple, safe, and reproducible. It does not require epidural space invasion, infusion pumps, or another service to comanage the postoperative pain therapy.
