Background And Aims: Ultrasound-guided deep serratus anterior plane (SAP) block has recently gained popularity as an analgesic technique in breast surgery. However, the effectiveness of ultrasound depends largely on the quality of the equipment used, and the technique can be complicated by patient-related factors such as obesity. We hypothesized that the simpler open approach to deep SAP block would be non-inferior to the ultrasound-guided approach in providing analgesia for modified radical mastectomy.

In this double-blinded, randomized controlled trial, sixty patients undergoing elective uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) lobectomy were randomly assigned to receive thoracoscopic intercostal nerve block (ICNB, n = 30) or ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB, n = 30). No block-related adverse events occurred. The ICNB group showed significantly lower resting and coughing visual analog scale scores, than the ESPB group, 4 (4.

DesignRandomized Controlled Trial.ObjectivePostoperative pain after lumbar spine surgery remains a clinical challenge. Fluoroscopy-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been proposed as a feasible technique for reducing pain and opioid use, particularly when ultrasound guidance is not available.

IntroductionWe report the successful use of erector spinae (ESP) plane block in the management of a patient with severe respiratory failure secondary to chest trauma requiring invasive ventilation and Veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO).Case reportA 64-year-old man with flail chest and severe respiratory failure required V-V ECMO. An ESP plane block on day 3 enabled extubation, mobilisation, and secretion clearance, leading to ECMO weaning after six days and discharge 18 days post-injury.
