31 Summary statements & QA 1. Paravertebral block revival since Introduction of ultrasound guidance 3. Evidence of good efficacy for perioperative analgesia in minimal invasive thoracic surgery 4. Side effects like hypotension, urinary retention, nausea and block failure in favor of PVB compared with epidurals 5. Conflicting evidence for perioperative analgesia in open thoracic surgery compared with epidurals 6. High analgesic efficacy for surgical placed continuous PVB 7. Pig tail catheters might improve continuous PVB technique 8. Same safety precautions like for epidurals are strongly recommended Role of paravertebral block in perioperative analgesia, SARA 2015, 31
