Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of liposomal Bupivacaine administered by paravertebral block for the treatment of acute and chronic pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.

Description

Researchers will compare liposomal bupivacaine to bupivacaine to see if liposomal bupivacaine works better to treat acute and chronic pain after video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy.Participants will:1.Received liposomal bupivacaine or bupivacaine paravertebral block before surgery. 2.Keep a diary of their pain scores within 30min after recovery from anesthesia and 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h, 72h and 90d after the beginning of injection of experimental drugs.
