Summary
This study tested a pain-relief method for people recovering from chest surgery (thoracotomy) who cannot have standard epidural pain control. A small tube placed in the wound delivered either a numbing medicine (ropivacaine) or a saltwater placebo for 48 hours. All patients also had a morphine pump for extra pain relief. The goal was to see if the numbing medicine reduced the total morphine needed.
