✅ Post-operative Analgesia Enhancement
✒️Key Points: Ultrasound-guided ESP block significantly reduces post-operative morphine consumption, enhances analgesia, and improves patient satisfaction without adverse effects.
✅ Block Technique Overview
✒️Key Points: The ESP block involves injecting a local anaesthetic into the interfascial plane beneath the erector spinae muscle, representing a relatively new approach to regional anesthesia
✅ Application in Chronic Pain
✒️Key Points: The sacral ESP block has been effectively utilized for managing chronic pain, thereby expanding its clinical indications beyond acute pain scenarios
✅ Surgical Anaesthesia Achievement
✒️Key Points: A single-shot ultrasound-guided ESP block can achieve complete surgical anesthesia in an average of 31.5 minutes, demonstrating its efficacy in operative settings
✅ Fluoroscopic-Guided Technique
✒️Key Points: Fluoroscopic guidance for the ESP block has been successfully employed, particularly in managing acute pain associated with multiple rib fracture
✅ Analgesic Adjunct for Rib Fractures
✒️Key Points: The ESP block serves as an effective analgesic adjunct in traumatic rib fractures, using high-volume, low-concentration local anesthetic for pain relief
✅ Combination with Low-Dose Intrathecal Morphine
✒️Key Points: Combining the ESP block with low-dose intrathecal morphine produces opioid-sparing effects postoperatively, notably in open radical cystectomy procedures
✅ Use in Laparoscopic Surgery
✒️ Key Points: Intraoperative ESP block has been utilized during laparoscopic surgeries, offering effective pain relief while being a safer alternative to traditional methods.
✅ Alternative to Epidural Analgesia
✒️ Key Points: The ESP block is proposed as a simple and safe alternative to epidural analgesia for managing acute post-surgical, post-traumatic, and chronic pain.
✅ Comparison with Port-Site Infiltration
✒️ Key Points: In laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients, ESP block was associated with lower postoperative pain scores, reduced opioid consumption, and improved quality of recovery compared to port-site infiltration.
