A total of 116 older patients who were scheduled to undergo VATS were allocated into a SB group (TPVB with standard bupivacaine [SB] before anesthesia induction) and a LB group (TPVB with LB before anesthesia induction). The primary outcome was the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) scores of patients measured at 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72\u2009h postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were score of the QoR\u201015 questionnaire at 24\u2009h postoperatively, effective times of patient\u2010controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA), cumulative sufentanil consumption, first time to request for analgesia, incidence of adverse events, and incidence of postoperative delirium. The LB group had significantly lower NRS scores at 24 and 36\u2009h postoperatively than those in the SB group. The LB group exhibited significantly higher QoR\u201015 scores at 24\u2009h postoperatively, fewer effective times of PCIA, less cumulative sufentanil consumption from 24 to 72\u2009h postoperatively, and longer time to first request for analgesia than the SB group. The two groups did not differ in incidences of adverse events and postoperative delirium. The study provides evidence that TPVB with LB is effective in alleviating postoperative pain at 24 and 36\u2009h postoperatively, improving QoR, and providing opioid savings for older patients after VATS.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/kjm2.70244","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]],"date-time":"2026-06-11T13:39:34Z","timestamp":1781185174000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Ultrasound\u2010Guided Thoracic Paravertebral Block With Liposomal Versus Standard Bupivacaine for Older Patients After Thoracoscopic Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"given":"Wen\u2010Cheng","family":"Shi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Taicang First People's Hospital  Taicang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ying\u2010Jie","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Taicang First People's Hospital  Taicang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Taicang First People's Hospital  Taicang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhong","family":"Zheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Taicang First People's Hospital  Taicang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-6869-2124","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jing","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology Taicang First People's Hospital  Taicang China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,11]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"49","DOI":"10.1111\/resp.13920","article-title":"Video\u2010Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery as the Gold Standard for Lung Cancer Surgery","volume":"25","author":"Sihoe A.
