Study Summary
This prospective, randomized study is intended to assess the efficacy and safety of bilateral continuous paravertebral blocks compared to continuous epidural block for open liver resection. Hypotheses: Bilateral paravertebral blocks are: 1) equally effective in controlling the perioperative pain; and 2) safe, with less frequent complications following open liver resection when compared to continuous epidural block.
Primary Outcome
Pain will be assessed using an 11-point verbal numerical pain scale (VAS) with 0 indicating no pain and 10 indicating the worst pain imaginable;(21) pain will be determined 24 hours postoperatively immediately after maximum incentive spirometry.
