ARE THEY WORTH THE HYPE ?
13 -15th November 2020 Virtual PACSA
Outline the concept of fascial plane blocks made possible since advent of ultrasound
Describe anatomy that delineates the spread of local anesthesia within these tissue planes
Suggest potential indications, dosage and review complications

Forero et al RAPM 2016 Path of spinal nerves. 1 = needle site superficial to ER, 2 = needle site deep to ESM
Dorsal ramus ->
travels through
erector spinae
to branch into
medial and
lateral posterior
cutaneous
branches
Spinal nerves divide into dorsal
and ventral primary rami
Ventral ramus -> travels deep to
intercostal muscles to branch into lateral and
anterior cutaneous branches
The rami communicantesbranch off the
ventral rami to the sympathetic chain

First described by Forero et al 2016
T5 level injection with
T3-T9 spread
A paraspinous column of muscle that extends from the sacrum and lumbar spinous processes to the thoracic and cervical spine.
A group of 3 paraspinousmuscles:
• Spinalis
• Longissimus thoracis
• Iliocostalis
K Chin. ESP. ESRA conference 2017
Overlying muscles:
• Rhomboid: ends around T6-7
• Trapezius: ends around T10-12
• Might see latissimus dorsi and thoracolumbar aponeurosis more caudal

spread in a fresh neonate. Green arrows –
represent the cranio-caudal spread within the
erector spinae fascial plane space at vertebral
level T8. Yellow arrows – represents the cranio-
caudal spread within the erector spinae fascial
plane space and posterior to the erector spinae
muscle at vertebral level T10.

Safety ◦ Distant from spinal cord and pleura
Applications ◦ Thorax
◦ Abdomen
◦ Neck
◦ Coagulation disorders

Types of Patients Contraindication to an epiduralSpine issues (previous hardware,abnormalities)Current or potential coagulopathyFailed epidural or PVBPatient fearful of neuraxial proceduresUnclear epidural vascular anatomyRib fractures
Types of Pain Acute post surgicalTrauma Chronic pain
ESP Epidural Paravertebral QL TAP
Spread Extensivedermatome spread in muscle plane
Spread in fat filled space can be limited,unilateral, patchy
Less extensive spread, multipleinjections needed
PosteriorapproachFewer dermatome
More distal –fewer dermatomes covered
