Erector spinae plane blockade in the first stage of labour: a case series.

Introduction: The objective of this case series was to present the importance of labour analgesia and the preference for erector spinae plane (ESP) block as a new technique that can be used for labour analgesia.

Case Reports: The three patients were 25-year-old primipara with 5-cm cervical dilation, a 30-year-old multiparous with 5-cm cervical dilatation, and a 32-year-old primipara with 4-cm cervical dilation.

Conclusions: Bilateral ESP block may be an alternative analgesic technique for the first stage of labour.
