Abstract: Objective Observe the application effect of thoracic paravertebral nerve block assisted local anesthesia in percutaneous vertebroplasty. Methods Sixty patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty admitted to Jiangsu Province Siyang Hospital from June 2021 to August 2022 were selected as the study subjects and randomly divided into an observation group (thoracic paravertebral nerve block supplemented by local anesthesia) and a control group (local anesthesia) using a numerical table method, with 30 patients in each group. Observe the digital scale score (NRS), mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), Ramsay score, and incidence of adverse reactions in two groups of patients at different time points. Results There was no statistically significant difference in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) between the two groups of patients before surgery (T0) and after surgery (T3) (P>0.05). During puncture (T1) and bone cement injection (T2), the MAP and HR of the observation group were lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) between the two groups of patients at the four time points T0, T1, T2, and T3 (P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in Ramsay score and Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) between the two groups of patients at the end of surgery (T3) (P>0.05). During puncture (T1) and bone cement injection (T2), the Ramsay score and NRS score in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in both groups of patients (P>0.05). Conclusion Patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty can effectively improve intraoperative pain and stabilize their vital signs by using ultrasound-guided thoracic paravertebral nerve block as an auxiliary local anesthesia treatment.
