The erector spinae plane block: a narrative review.

ABSTRACT: Regional anesthesia and pain management have experienced advances in recent years, especially with the advent of fascial plane blocks. The erector spinae plane block is one of the newest techniques to be described. In the past two years, publications referring to ESP block have increased significantly. The objective of this review is to analyze the articles about ESP block that have been published to date. We performed a search in the main databases and identified 368 articles. After a selection of the relevant articles, 125 studies were found eligible and were included in the review. The ESP block is performed by depositing the local anesthetic in the fascial plane, deeper than the erector spinae muscle at the tip of the transverse process of the vertebra. Many cases of its use have been described with satisfactory results in the treatment of both acute pain and chronic pain. The applicability of the technique covers many clinical scenarios. Of the 98 case reports reviewed, 12 and 87 articles, respectively described the technique as a treatment for chronic pain and acute pain. The single-shot was the most frequently used technique. As described in the articles published to date, the technique is easy to perform and has a low rate of complications. However, despite the effectiveness of the technique, further studies are necessary to obtain more evidence of its actions.

Anesthetic Techniques: Focus on Lumbar Erector Spinae Plane Block

Project description:Abstract Defined in the last decade, erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is one of the more frequently used interfacial plans, and it has been the most discussed block among the recently defined techniques. Lumbar ESPB administered at lumbar levels is relatively novel and is a new horizon for regional anesthesia and pain practice. In this article, we aim to explain and introduce different approaches and explain the possible mechanism of action of lumbar ESPB. The objective of this review is to analyze the case reports, clinical and cadaveric studies about lumbar ESPB that have been published to date. We performed a search in “Pubmed” and “Google Scholar” database. After a selection of the relevant studies, 59 articles were found eligible and were included in this review. While we believe that lumbar ESPB is reliable and easy, we suggest that its efficacy and indications should be verified with anatomical and clinical studies, and its safety should be confirmed with pharmacokinetic studies. Moreover, the possibility of complications must be considered.

Erector spinae plane block for spinal surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough the erector spinae plane block has been used in various truncal surgical procedures, its clinical benefits in patients undergoing spinal surgery remain controversial. The aim of this meta-analysis was to evaluate the clinical benefits of erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing spinal surgery.MethodsWe searched the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMBASE, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure for randomized controlled trials comparing the erector spinae plane block with a nonblocked control for spinal surgery.ResultsTwelve studies encompassing 696 subjects were included in our systematic review and meta-analysis. We found that the erector spinae plane block decreased postoperative pain scores and opioid consumption in the postoperative and intraoperative periods. Moreover, it prolonged the time to the first rescue analgesic, reduced the number of patients who required rescue analgesia, and lowered the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting. However, it did not exhibit efficacy in decreasing the incidence of urinary retention and itching or shortening the length of hospital stays, or the time to first ambulation.ConclusionsErector spinae plane block improves analgesic efficacy among patients undergoing spinal surgery compared with nonblocked controls; however, there is insufficient evidence regarding the benefits of erector spinae plane block for rapid recovery.

Multimodal Anesthesia via Opioid-Free Analgesia and Erector Spinae Plane Block.

Project description:Multimodal anesthesia, which combines general and epidural anesthesia, is used in surgical cases in which a large or painful incision is anticipated. However, both epidural blocks and opioid-based analgesia have limitations in application. Here, we present a case of supra-infraumbilical laparotomy in a patient whose history of neurostimulator use and marked scoliosis discouraged the placement of an epidural catheter and whose prior adverse response to opioids prohibited their use. The intraoperative and postoperative management of this patient consisted of a combination of analgesia without opioids and erector spinae plane block. Adequate analgesia was achieved, and intraoperative or postoperative opioids were not required. This case illustrates the importance of mastering alternative and multimodal analgesia techniques that can be used in place of classical analgesia techniques when classical analgesia techniques are not appropriate.

Quadrant and Dermatomal Analysis of Sensorial Block in Ultrasound- Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block.

Project description:ObjectiveAs a novel procedure now gaining popularity, erector spinae plane block has been the subject of many studies. However, dermatomal coverage of the sensory block caused by erector spinae plane block has been rarely studied. The goal of this study is to evaluate the sensory block resulting from erector spinae plane block applied at the T9 vertebral level.Materials and methodsThis observational, prospective, blinded study was conducted on 50 adult patients undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery. All patients underwent bilateral erector spinae plane block at the T9 level after completion of the surgery while under general anesthesia. In order to further evaluate the sensory blockade, we divided the hemiabdomen-hemithorax region into 4 quadrants: dorsal-medial, dorsal- laterel, ventral-lateral, and ventral-medial. The sensorial evaluation was performed using the pinprick test, 2 hours following the application of erector spinae plane block.ResultsA total of 28 female and 22 male patients were examined in this study. Complete failure of the block was recorded in 7 patients, with no thoracic/lumbar segmental or quadrant involvement. Successful sensory block was achieved in 67% of the dorsolateral quadrants, 58% of the dorsomedial quadrants, 69% of the ventrolateral quadrants, and 55% of the ventromedial quadrants.ConclusionCutaneous sensory block of erector spinae plane block at T9 vertebral level revealed variable results and low failure rates. Administration of erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia in thoracoab- dominal surgeries requires further randomized controlled trials to confirm its effectiveness and convenience.

Serratus anterior plane block and erector spinae plane block in postoperative analgesia in thoracotomy: A randomised controlled study.

Project description:Background and aimsManaging pain after thoracic surgery is crucial and the traditional methods have many adverse effects. We aimed to evaluate serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in acute pain control in thoracic cancer surgeries.MethodsThis randomised controlled, triple-blind study was performed on 90 patients, between 18 and 70 years old, scheduled for elective thoracic cancer surgery. Patients were allocated into three equal groups: Control group: received sham ESPB and sham SAPB. SAPB group received SAPB (20 ml bupivacaine 0.5%) and sham ESPB. ESBP group received ESPB (20 ml bupivacaine 0.5%) and sham SAPB.ResultsPostoperative morphine consumption was significantly lower in ESBP and SAPB groups than control group [ESPB (8.52 ± 4.29 mg) < SAPB (19.57 ± 7.63 mg) < control (36.37 ± 8.27 mg)] (P < 0.001). Numerical rating scale pain score was comparable among the groups at rest, but was significantly lower at 30 min, 2, 4 h in ESPB and SAPB groups, than control group on coughing. The scores were better in SAPB compared to control group till 4 h. At 8, 12, 24 h, the difference between control and SAPB groups became insignificant, but it remained the least in ESPB group. Postoperative forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in the first second after 24 h were the best in ESPB group and better in SAPB group compared to the control group.ConclusionBoth ESPB and SAPB reduced intraoperative and postoperative opioid consumptions and postoperative dynamic pain scores with improved postoperative pulmonary functions in thoracic surgery with the ESPB being superior.

Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Thoracolumbar Spinal Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Project description:IntroductionNeurosurgical spinal surgeries such as micro- discectomy and complex fusion surgeries remain the leading causes of disability-adjusted life-year. Major spinal surgeries often result in severe postprocedural pain due to massive dissection of the underlying tissues. While opioids offer effective pain control, they frequently lead to side effects, such as post-operative nausea and vomiting, pruritus, constipation, and respiratory depression. ESPB was successfully used in spinal surgery as a component of a multimodal analgesic regimen and it eliminated the requirements for opioids. The primary purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare post-operative opioid consumption between ESPB and placebo.MethodsTo conduct this systematic review, we used the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA)" guidelines. We conducted a search for relevant articles available in the following databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, and the Cochrane Library published up to March 2022.ResultsThe total morphine consumption within 24 h after surgery was lower in the ESPB group, the mean difference (in mg of morphine) with 95% CI is -9.27 (-11.63, -6.91). The pain intensity (0-10) at rest measured 24 h after surgery was lower in the ESPB group, the MD with 95% CI is -0.47 (-0.77, -0.17). The pain intensity during movement measured 24 h after surgery was lower in the ESPB group, the MD with 95% CI is -0.73 (-1.00, -0.47). Post-operative nausea and vomiting were significantly lower in the ESPB group, the risk ratio with 95% CI is 0.32 (0.19, 0.53).ConclusionUltrasound-guided ESPB was superior to placebo in reducing post-operative opioid consumption, pain intensity, post-operative nausea and vomiting, and prolonging the time to first rescue analgesia. There were no ESPB-related serious complications reported.

Erector spinae plane block versus intercostal nerve block for postoperative analgesia in lung cancer surgery.

Project description:BackgroundA recent trend in postoperative analgesia for lung cancer surgery relies on regional nerve blocks with decreased opioid administration. Our study aims to critically assess the continuous ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) at our institution and compare it to a standard regional anesthetic technique, the intercostal nerve block (ICNB).Patients and methodsA prospective randomized-control study was performed to compare outcomes of patients, scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) lung cancer resection, allocated to the ESPB or ICNB group. Primary outcomes were total opioid consumption and subjective pain scores at rest and cough each hour in 48 h after surgery. The secondary outcome was respiratory muscle strength, measured by maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures (MIP/MEP) after 24 h and 48 h.Results60 patients met the inclusion criteria, half ESPB. Total opioid consumption in the first 48 h was 21. 64 ± 14.22 mg in the ESPB group and 38.34 ± 29.91 mg in the ICNB group (p = 0.035). The patients in the ESPB group had lower numerical rating scores at rest than in the ICNB group (1.19 ± 0.73 vs. 1.77 ± 1.01, p = 0.039). There were no significant differences in MIP/MEP decrease from baseline after 24 h (MIP p = 0.088, MEP p = 0.182) or 48 h (MIP p = 0.110, MEP p = 0.645), time to chest tube removal or hospital discharge between the two groups.ConclusionsIn the first 48 h after surgery, patients with continuous ESPB required fewer opioids and reported less pain than patients with ICNB. There were no differences regarding respiratory muscle strength, postoperative complications, and time to hospital discharge. In addition, continuous ESPB demanded more surveillance than ICNB.
