Effectiveness of Bilateral Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block

Summary

The proposed mechanism of action of the ESPB is via blockade of the dorsal and ventral rami of the spinal nerves and sympathetic nerve fibers. Radiographic evidence suggests that local anesthetic injected into at the ESP spreads both cranially and caudally as the plane is continuous along the vertebral column . ESPB reportshave demonstrated analgesia at cervical, thoracic, and lumbar levels for procedures such aspyeloplasty, lipoma excision, breast reconstruction,malignant mesothelioma, inguinal hernia repairs, and hip reconstructions
