We performed the midpoint transverse process to pleura (MTP) block in a patient with a recurrent pleural effusion requiring medical thoracoscopy, drainage of pleural effusion, talc poudrage, and placement of tunneled pleural catheter under sedation while in the left lateral decubitus position. Forty milliliters of a combination of bupivacaine hydrochloride and lidocaine, with dexamethasone and clonidine as adjuvants, was injected at the T6 level under ultrasound guidance with satisfactory intra- and postoperative analgesia.
