Objective: This study aims to investigate the impact of combining general anesthesia with bronchial intubation and thoracic paravertebral nerve block during surgery for patients with tuberculous pyothorax. Methods: Eighty patients diagnosed with tuberculous pyothorax, admitted to the hospital between January 2023 and September 2023, were randomly selected for this study. The patients were divided into control and study groups using a numerical table method. The control group underwent general anesthesia with bronchial intubation, while the study group received general anesthesia with bronchial intubation in conjunction with thoracic paravertebral nerve block. Subsequently, the patients were monitored to assess mean arterial pressure, heart rate variations, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Results: The study group exhibited significantly lower mean arterial pressure and heart rate levels during the post-surgical incision, immediate end of surgery, and immediate extubation periods compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Furthermore, the Ricker and Ramsay scores in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: The combined use of general anesthesia via bronchial intubation and thoracic paravertebral nerve block has been found to stabilize mean arterial pressure and heart rate while providing effective sedation for surgical treatment in patients with tuberculous septic thorax.
