Lamberg JJ, Donahue KS. Although the skin incision is very similar to that of a thoracotomy, most centres have started using a muscle-sparing approach which avoids incising the latissimus dorsi muscle.

October 2020 As the official journal of two of the largest American associations in its specialty, this leading monthly enjoys outstanding editorial leadership and maintains rigorous selection standards. A nerve block is a form of regional anesthesia. The paravertebral space communicates with the epidural space medially and the intercostal space laterally, but with adequate volume, the majority spreads caudally and cranially covering at least five sensory dermatomes.10 One catheter can cover up to six consecutive fractured ribs, but a second catheter can be inserted for more than six levels, or for bilateral fractures, if a thoracic epidural is contraindicated. High-risk contraindications to lung function testing are associated with cardiovascular complications such as myocardial infarct, pulmonary embolism or ascending aortic aneurysm.
