Propofol-based anaesthesia versus sevoflurane-based anaesthesia for living donor kidney transplantation: results of the VAPOR-1 randomized controlled trial.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Paravertebral regional anaesthesia is used to treat pain after several surgical procedures. This study aimed to improve on our first published ultrasound-guided approach to the paravertebral space (PVS) and to investigate a possible discrepancy between the needle, catheter, and contrast dye position. METHOD...
