Official Title: Evaluation of Influence of Thoracic Paravertebral Block on Cardiac Repolarization
Brief Summary:
Aim of the study is to determine the presence and direction of electrocardiographical changes of cardiac repolarization after thoracic paravertebral block, depending on block laterality.Injection of local anaesthetic into paravertebral space (paravertebral block, PVB) temporarily impairs transmission in nerve fibers in proximity of the deposition site.In case of PVB covering the rami of upper thoracic spinal nerves, among the others thoracic sympathetic cardiac nerves are blocked, possibly affecting action…
