However, difficulties in post-MICS analgesia can undermine these advantages. The serratus anterior plane block (SAPB), an effective analgesic for thoracic surgery, could benefit post-MICS analgesia using programmed intermittent bolus infusion (PIBI). We investigated whether PIBI with SAPB can reduce post-MICS fentanyl administration and evaluated its safety profile.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This randomized, double-blind, controlled trial included 20 patients (age 20\u201380\u00a0years; Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status 0\u2013II; scheduled for elective MICS) randomly allocated to two groups (SAPB or control). All patients underwent preoperative SAPB with catheterization, followed by either 20\u00a0mL 0.25% ropivacaine or saline bolus every 6\u00a0h postoperatively. All patients received intravenous fentanyl via patient-controlled analgesia. Blood samples were collected 10, 20, 30, and 60\u00a0min after preoperative ropivacaine infusion; during and after cardiopulmonary bypass; and on postoperative days 1\u20135. The primary outcome was cumulative fentanyl consumption up to postoperative day 5. Secondary outcomes included numerical rating scale scores, rehabilitation preoperatively and postoperatively, postoperative nausea and vomiting, ropivacaine toxicity, and PIBI with SAPB complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>After excluding three patients, data from 17 patients were analyzed.
