Examining Peripheral Nerve Blocks for Analgesia During Caesarean Birth

In multimodal analgesia regimens for postcesarean delivery, peripheral nerve blocks play a special role. These peripheral nerve blocks, including transversus abdominis plane, quadratus lumborum, iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal, erector spinae, continuous wound infiltration and paravertebral blocks will be discussed in this review paper. Anatomy, data from the literature, and particular areas that require more study will all be evaluated. In the context of emergency caesarean births, considerations for local anaesthetic toxicity and informed consent for these modalities will be highlighted.
