title: Thoracic paravertebral blockade.
abstract: Thoracic paravertebral blockade is a simple and easy-to-learn technique with a low incidence of complications. It should be considered as a safe alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia/anaesthesia. We reviewed the techniques of thoracic paravertebral blockade with special interest to ultrasound guidance.
