Summary
Elderly patients are usually presented with higher risk for developing cardiopulmonary
complications after general anesthesia (GA). Bilateral paravertebral block (PVB) has been
associated with favorable outcomes in patients undergoing ventral hernia repair. Hence,
elderly patients undergoing major abdominal surgery may benefit from PVB anesthetic
technique.
