A Cadaveric Study Investigating the Mechanism of Action of Erector Spinae Blockade

TL;DR: This cadaveric dye injection and dissection study was to simulate an erector spinae block to determine if dye would spread anteriorly to the involve origins of the ventral and dorsal branches of the thoracic spinal nerves.
Journal ArticleDOI

Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Retrolaminar Block: A Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Anatomical Study.

TL;DR: The clinical effect of ESP and retrolaminar blocks can be explained by epidural and neural foraminal spread of local anesthetic, and the ESP block produces additional intercostal spread, which may contribute to more extensive analgesia.
Journal ArticleDOI

The erector spinae plane (ESP) block: A pooled review of 242 cases.

TL;DR: The ESPB appears to be a safe and effective option for multiple types thoracic, abdominal, and extremity surgeries and to the authors' knowledge, this is the first review providing a pooled review of ESPB characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block reduces postoperative opioid consumption following breast surgery: A randomized controlled study.

TL;DR: The study findings show that US-guided ESP block exhibits a significant analgesic effect in patients undergoing breast cancer surgery, and further studies are needed to identify the optimal analgesia technique for this group of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of injectate spread and nerve involvement between retrolaminar and erector spinae plane blocks in the thoracic region: a cadaveric study.

TL;DR: Although erector spinae plane blocks were associated with a slightly larger number of stained thoracic spinal nerves than retrolaminar blocks, both techniques were consistently associated with posterior spread of dye and with limited spread to the paravertebral space.

The analgesic efficacy of pre-operative bilateral erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks in patients having ventral hernia repair.

TL;DR: The ESP block is a promising regional anaesthetic technique for laparoscopic ventral hernia repair and other abdominal surgery when performed at the level of the T7 transverse process because of its ability to block both supra‐umbilical and infra‐umbillical dermatomes with a single‐level injection and its relative simplicity.

Quadratus lumborum block for postoperative pain after caesarean section: A randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The quadratus lumborum block after caesarean section was effective and provided satisfactory analgesia in combination with a typical postoperative analgesic regimen and the VAS was significantly lower in the local anaesthetic group than the control group.
