Local Anesthesia Versus Combined Local Anesthesia With Single Dose Analgesia on Pain Control During Thoracic Ultrasound Guided Procedures

Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of single dose analgesia in combination with local anesthesia to control pain during Trans Ultrasound guided procedures. It also aims to assess the effect of its use on procedure performance time and rate of complications occurrence compared to local anesthesia alone.
