Thoracic surgery for radical resection of lung tumor requires deep anesthesia which can lead to an adverse inflammatory response, loss of hemodynamic stability, and decreased immune function. Herein, we evaluated the feasibility and benefits of ultrasound-guided paravertebral nerve block anesthesia, in combination with general anesthesia, for thoracic surgery for lung cancer. The block was performed by diffusion of anesthetic drugs along the paravertebral space to achieve unilateral multi-segment intercostal nerve and dorsal branch nerve block.
