LEOTAU-RODRIGUEZ, Mario Andrés; VALENZUELA, Angy y RANGEL, Germán W. Erector spinae plane block as an analgesic rescue to acute control postoperative pain in scapula fracture: case report. Rev. mex. anestesiol. [online]. 2023, vol.46, n.4, pp.272-274. Epub 26-Feb-2024. ISSN 0484-7903. https://doi.org/10.35366/112299.
Introduction:
the erector spine plane block (ESPB) is a safe procedure, technically is less demanding than conventional thoracic regional anesthesia techniques. It is used for the treatment of acute and chronic pain. In the literature review, no reports of its use as a single technique in the acute pain of scapula fracture were found.
Case presentation:
ESPB is reported in a case as an experimental technique for controlling acute postoperative pain in scapula fractures with an application at the T2 level. It was performed postoperatively with a decrease in pain after 10 minutes and a score of zero on the analog pain scale. In this case, the ESPB was performed in the immediate postoperative period, achieving a total decrease in pain at 10 minutes, with subsequent pain control at 36 hours.
Conclusion:
this case shows the effectiveness of ESPB as an experimental technique for postoperative pain control in scapula fractures.
