First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding ketamine to a standard nerve block can better control pain after chest surgery (thoracotomy). Fifty adults scheduled for open chest surgery took part. The main goal was to see how long it took before they needed extra pain medicine. The approach aims to improve pain relief and reduce the need for strong painkillers like morphine.
