Superior postoperative pain relief with thoracic epidural analgesia versus intravenous patient-controlled analgesia after minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair  Thomas Weber, MD, DEEA, Johanna Mätzl, MD, Alexander Rokitansky, MD, Walter Klimscha, MD, Konrad Neumann, PhD, Engelbert Deusch, MD  The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery  Volume 134, Issue 4, Pages 865-870 (October 2007) DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2007.05.050 Copyright © 2007 The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Terms and Conditions

Figure 1 Higher postoperative pain scores (visual analog scale) were reported in patients treated with patient-controlled analgesia than those in patients treated with thoracic epidural analgesia after pectus excavatum repair (P ≤ .0001). Pain decreases over time (P ≤ .0001) in both groups, with a parallel course of the 2 curves. In the box-and-whiskers plot minimum, maximum, first, and third quartiles and the median are depicted.

Figure 2 Higher ratings of well-being at a maximum value of 100 for highest well-being were reported in the thoracic epidural analgesia group after pectus excavatum repair, compared with those in the intravenous patient-controlled analgesia group (P ≤ .0001). In the box-and-whiskers plot minimum, maximum, first, and third quartiles and the median are depicted. Circles and asterisks mark outliers and extreme outliers.

Figure 3 Side effects and additional pain medication: A, supplemental oxygen (percentage of patients); B, additional pain medication (percentage of patients); C, sedation (100% = maximal possible value; ie, all patients have a score of 2); D, nausea (percentage of patients). In patients treated with patient-controlled analgesia, supplemental oxygen (P = .0005) and additional pain medication (P ≤ .0001) were required more often than in patients treated with thoracic epidural analgesia after pectus excavatum repair. No difference for sedation (P = .37) and nausea (P = .10) was found between groups.
