Management of pain in thoracic surgery
Br J Hosp Med.
1993.
Abstract
Severe pain after thoracotomy is the most important factor responsible for ineffective ventilation, ineffective cough, and impaired ability to sigh and to breathe deeply. Effective analgesia minimizes and may even reverse the expected decline in pulmonary function and also prevents postoperative pulmonary complications.
