Study Summary

The aim of this study is to determine if erector spinae injections with bolus infusions with local anesthetic decrease postsurgical pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing pulmonary resection surgery.

Primary Outcome

Study team members will record the patients' visual analogue pain score pain score on the scale of 0-10 (pain score 0-10 numerical rating) at 6 hours, as well as pain medications given. In addition, all patients will receive a Pain Diary with which to record the pain scores and medications received/taken. If a patient is discharged prior to the 24 hours, the patient will continue to fill out the Pain Diary at home up to the 24 hour mark. A phone call by a member of the study team within 72 hours
