Summary
VATS is widely used for diagnosis and treatment of intrathoracic conditions. Despite many
benefits, postoperative pain continues to be intense after VATS. The optimal strategy for
pain management has not been defined. In this randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded
clinical investigation, investigators hypothesize that 5 mcg/kg intrathecal morphine will
decrease postoperative analgesic consumption and reduce pain.
