Background And Objectives: Rebound pain (RP), characterised by an acute increase in pain levels, is usually observed after the effects of block anaesthesia have subsided. Severe RP can cause adverse effects, thus affecting patient prognosis. In this study, we investigated the incidence of RP and its risk factors after intercostal nerve block in three-port thoracoscopic surgery to provide a clinical basis for identifying high-risk patients and providing early intervention.

: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) is associated with less postoperative pain than traditional open thoracotomy. However, trocar and chest tube placement may damage the intercostal nerves, causing significant discomfort. An ultrasound-guided serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) is a promising mode of pain management; this reduces the need for opioids and the associated side-effects.

Background Lung resection is a complex surgical procedure performed in children to address various pulmonary conditions. The success of this surgical intervention in these patients lies in a multidisciplinary approach, with anesthetic management playing a critical role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of the procedure. Methods After approval by the local ethics committee, clinical data of 17 pediatric patients who underwent lung resection in our hospital from January 2012 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.

Background: The benefits of spontaneous ventilation (SV)-video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) in octogenarian patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have rarely been reported. This retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the safety and feasibility of SV-VATS in octogenarian patients with NSCLC.

Methods: Patients with NSCLC aged >80 years who underwent SV-VATS or mechanical ventilation (MV)-VATS between 2017 and 2022 were included in this study.

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of the SaCo videolaryngeal mask airway (VLMA) in combination with a bronchial blocker in patients undergoing minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 120 patients who underwent minimally invasive thoracoscopic surgery from January 2022 to December 2023. Patients were grouped based on their treatment methods: 68 patients who received the SaCo VLMA combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the L group, while 52 patients who received a tracheal tube combined with a bronchial blocker intraoperatively were designated as the E group.
