Randomized Trial of Erector Spinae Plane Block Using Liposomal Bupivacaine Versus Bupivacaine Hydrochloride on Quality of Recovery for Video-assisted Thoracic Surgery

In the anesthesia induction suite, the anesthesiologist administers an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block under local anesthesia prior to the induction of general anesthesia. The procedure involves the sequential injection of 10 mL of normal saline, followed by the administration of 20 mL of 1.33% liposomal bupivacaine.
