Analgesic management in thoracic surgery presents a particular challenge for the anesthesiologist, given the intensity of postoperative pain associated with thoracotomy, a surgical procedure that can impact respiratory function and the patient's subsequent recovery.

The ultrasound target is easily visualized, and the injection site is far from the neuraxis, pleura, and major vascular structures.
