Abstract
Una analgesia inadecuada en cirugía torácica facilita las complicaciones respiratorias potencialmente graves y se asocia al síndrome de dolor crónico post-toracotomía. El catéter epidural y el catéter paravertebral son los tratamientos que resultan más efectivos, dentro de una estrategia multimodal. El parche de lidocaína 5 % está indicado para el dolor en la neuropatía post-herpética. Existe literatura sobre su utilidad en otros modelos de dolor. Presentamos tres pacientes con dolor postquirúrgico en cirugía de tórax, a pesar del tratamiento convencional, y su buena respuesta analgésica tras la aplicación de parche de lidocaína 5 %.References
