Why the study?
Children carry the burden of inadequate analgesia in spine surgeries, and perioperative pain management is evolving with a focus on regional anaesthesia.
Erector spinae plane block can be successfully used for perioperative analgesia in pediatric spine instrumentation surgery.
ESP block success in one pediatric spine case; leaves open efficacy and safety confirmation in controlled trials.
Spine surgeries are commonly associated with significant pain.Children are amongst the most affected group of patients carrying the burden of inadequate analgesia.Traditionally, systemic drugs were used for analgesia in children.Management of perioperative pain in children is evolving with focus on regional anaesthesia.Herein, we report the successful use of erector spinae plane (ESP) block in a child for spine instrumentation surgery.
