Nefopam as a Multimodal Analgesia for Thoracic Surgery

Summary

Acute postoperative pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery is very severe. Because pain after thoracic surgery prevents early recovery, and increases postoperative complications, its is important to prevent pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. In the present study, we will evaluate whether nefopam reduces pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery.
