Summary
This study looked at whether adding ketamine to a standard nerve block (external oblique intercostal plane block) could better control pain after open chest surgery (thoracotomy). Fifty adults scheduled for this surgery took part. The main goal was to see how long it took before they needed extra pain medicine. The results could help improve pain management after major chest surgery.
