Surgical repair of the hip is considered an extremely painful procedure. Managing pain in this surgery is challenging even with several available options, each with limitations. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel technique that has been used in different types of surgery, with promising results. Herein, we describe a case of a successful ESP block for pediatric hip surgery. In the future, ESP block could be an alternative technique for providing effective analgesia.

Evaluation of Pain Relief and Opioid Consumption With the Addition of an Erector Spinae Plane Catheter Block After an Interscalene Nerve Block in Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair.
Orthop J Sports Med

Background: The effects of the erector spinae plane (ESP) block and interscalene nerve block (ISNB) on arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR) have been investigated separately.
Purpose: To evaluate whether additional catheterization for the ESP block can decrease acute postoperative pain and opioid consumption above the ISNB and multimodal oral analgesics in patients after arthroscopic RCR.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Factor XI (FXI) deficiency is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by a quantitative or qualitative deficiency of FXI. The symptoms are highly variable, and the severity and site of bleeding is unpredictable and does not necessarily correlate with FXI levels. FXI deficiency is classified by phenotype: bleeding or non-bleeding, depending on the clinical manifestations.

Introduction: Erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks, thoracic epidural, and patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) have all been used for perioperative pain management in the Nuss procedure without a consensus on what modality produces the best outcomes. Intercostal nerve cryoablation (INC) is a relatively new modality that involves freezing the nerves to prevent pain during recovery. Our hypothesis is that using INC for the Nuss procedure will decrease opioid use, pain scores, and length of stay (LOS) but will increase cost compared with ESP block, thoracic epidural, and PCA.

Introduction: Opioids are commonly used for acute pain management in patients with rib fractures, but their use poses known risks of addiction and respiratory depression. Regional anesthesia, namely the erector spinae plane(ESP) block, has shown promise as an alternative to opioids in case series. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous ropivacaine infusion ESP catheters performed by emergency physicians (EP) for patients with multiple unilateral rib fractures.

Objective: To investigate whether continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) improves the quality of recovery (QoR) and decreases postoperative acute and chronic pain in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
Methods: This was a single-center, double-blind, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 120 patients were randomized to groups at a 1:1 ratio.
