Summary
This study looked at how safe a newer type of nerve block (erector spinae plane block) is for people having chest surgery. Researchers measured the amount of the numbing drug ropivacaine in the blood of 20 patients to see if it could reach dangerous levels. They also checked pain scores and how much extra pain medicine was needed. The goal is to help doctors use this block more safely.
