- Title
The erector spinae plane block: plane and simple.
- Authors
El‐Boghdadly, K.; Pawa, A.; El-Boghdadly, K
- Abstract
An editorial is presented on a regional anesthetic block technique whereby local anesthetic is injected within a plane beneath the erector spinae muscle to achieve analgesia for abdominal surgery. It mentions the use of thoracic epidural analgesia as the standard analgesic blueprint to avoid systemic opioids and its adverse effects. It reports acceptance of transversus abdominal plane blocks by regional and non-regional anesthetists.
