Abstract

Objectives: Surgical stress and pain affect the respiratory condition of patients and can cause complications that affect morbidity and mortality in cardiac surgeries. The authors studied the effect of thoracic epidural analgesia (TEA) versus traditional intravenous analgesia on postoperative respiratory mechanics in cardiac surgery.
