Interventions
RIB BLOCK
30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected deep to the rhomboid intercostal spinal block.
SPSIP block
The USG probe was placed 2-3 cm medial to the scapular spine to visualize the trapezius, rhomboid major, and serratus posterior superior muscles. At the level of the 2nd-3rd ribs, a needle was advanced into the plane between the serratus posterior superior muscle and the rib. After confirming negative aspiration, 30 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected. The block was performed unilaterally, targeting the surgical hemithorax.
