Abstract
Compared with ropivacaine only, the addition of dexmedetomidine, 1 μg/kg, to local anesthetic for multilevel TPVB in patients undergoing VATS prolonged the duration of postoperative analgesia and improved patient satisfaction without serious side effects when combined with postoperative intravenous nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug administration.
