Summary
In recent years, lobectomy under VATS(Video-assisted thoracic surgery,VATS) has gradually
emerged, but there is still a proportion of patients with postoperative pain that affects
their postoperative recovery. Epidural analgesia (EA) , the gold standard for postoperative
analgesia in thoracic surgery, is currently administered in two ways: 1) continuous epidural
infusion 2) programmed intermittent epidural bolus. The former is currently the commonly used
method of anesthetic infusion, while the latter has been better studied in obstetrics and
major abdominal surgery, but is still unclear in thoracic medicine. This paper aims to
investigate the impact of both drug delivery methods on the quality of postoperative recovery
in patients undergoing lobectomy by VATS.
