Ultrasound-guided interfascial plane blocks are a recent development in modern regional
anesthesia research and practice and represent a new route of transmission for local …

Fascial plane blocks (FPBs) are regional anesthesia techniques in which the space (“plane”)
between two discrete fascial layers is the target of needle insertion and injection. Analgesia …

Background There is heterogeneity in the names and anatomical descriptions of regional
anesthetic techniques. This may have adverse consequences on education, research, and …

BACKGROUND The dermatomal level of analgesia achieved with quadratus lumborum
blocks varies according to the location of injection. The most commonly used approaches …

OBJECTIVE: The authors analyzed hospital mortality in adult cardiac surgery patients who
required postoperative venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support …

However, it is important to note that current literature on the QL block encompasses at least
3 different approaches, with authors using varying nomenclature in describing the block that …

Background and Objectives Fascial plane blocks are rapidly emerging to provide safe,
feasible alternatives to epidural analgesia for thoracic and abdominal pain. We define a new …

Background and objectives Both posterior quadratus lumborum (QL) and erector spinae
plane (ESP) blocks have been described as new truncal interfascial plane blocks …

Although epidural analgesia is widely used for pain relief, it is associated with a significant
failure rate. Loss of resistance technique, tactile feedback from the needle, and surface …
