Postoperative Analgesia After Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery

"The patient will be placed in the lateral position. Block will be performed under complete aseptic precautions using ultrasound machine with high frequency linear probe covered with sterile sheath .~The block will be performed at the T5-T6 level of the spine using an in-plane approach. Sensory block of the 5th intercostal space in the midaxillary line will be assessed by unilaterally using cold perception until 30 minutes after nerve block. If sensory blockade did not occur, the patient will be excluded from the study."
