Study Objective: Erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks have been recently described for postoperative pain management following spine surgery but their effects on intraoperative neuromonitoring are unknown.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Pediatric patients at a tertiary care center.
Patients: 26 pediatric patients who received bilateral surgically-placed ESP catheters for single-stage posterior spine fusion (PSF) from August 2020 to June 2021.
Interventions: Patients in this study did not receive any special interventions as part of this observational retrospective study.
Measurements: This retrospective study investigated the effects of local anesthesia administration through bilateral surgically-placed ESP catheters on intraoperative intercostal transcranial motor evoked potentials (tcMEPs) in the setting of a disrupted erector spinae fascial plane in pediatric patients undergoing single-stage posterior spine fusion.
Main Results: Of the 26 patients that received bilateral surgically-placed ESP catheters for pediatric posterior spine fusion surgery, none exhibited any changes in intercostal tcMEPs attributable to intraoperative lidocaine administration through the ESP catheters.
Conclusions: The administration of a local anesthetic into a disrupted erector spinae fascial plane does not appear to interfere with intraoperative neuromonitoring of posterior spine fusion surgeries.

Efficacy of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block compared to wound infiltration for postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Background: Postoperative pain remains a significant problem in patients undergoing donor nephrectomy despite reduced tissue trauma following laparoscopic living donor nephrectomy (LLDN). Inadequately treated pain leads to physiological and psychological consequences, including chronic neuropathic pain.
Materials And Methods: This randomized controlled double-blinded trial was conducted in sixty-nine (n = 69) participants who underwent LLDN under general anesthesia.

Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Kartal Dr. Lutfi Kirdar City Hospital, Istanbul, Turkey.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of Pectoral Nerve Block 2 (PECS-2) and Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESP), which are accepted to have an effect on post-operative pain control after breast cancer surgery, on both acute and chronic pain.
Method: In this double-blind, prospective, randomized study, patients were randomized using a sealed envelope method into two groups: those who underwent PECS-2 (Group P) and those who underwent ESP (Group E) before extubation at the end of the operation. The numerical rating scale (NRS) of patients was queried by a blinded researcher at post-operative 1, 2, 6, 12, and 24 h.
Effect of Ropivacaine Combined with Nalbuphine in Erector Spinae Plane Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Lumbar Trauma Surgery: A Single-Center Randomized Controlled Trial.

Department of Anesthesiology, the Second People's Hospital of Wuhu, Wuhu, Anhui, 241000, People's Republic of China.
Background: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) has been increasingly utilized for postoperative analgesia in thoracic, abdominal, and spinal surgeries. This study evaluated the postoperative analgesic outcomes of ESPB with nalbuphine as a ropivacaine adjuvant for lumbar trauma surgery.
Methods: This randomized double-blind clinical trial included 57 participants who underwent lumbar trauma surgery.
Asymmetry in the Onset of Paraspinal Muscles Activity Differs in Adolescents With Idiopathic Scoliosis Compared With Those With a Symmetrical Spine.

Background: Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is characterized by an asymmetrical formation of the spine and ribcage. Recent work provides evidence of asymmetrical (right versus left side) paraspinal muscle size, composition, and activation amplitude in adolescents with AIS. Each of these factors influences muscle force generation.

The use of exoskeletons is increasingly considered as a solution to reduce workers' exposure to physical risk factors, such as low-back disorders. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the CORFOR occupational soft-back exoskeleton on trunk muscle activity and kinematics during an order picking manual task performed in the field. 10 workers, with at least 4 weeks' experience using the exoskeleton, performed a 1.
