Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Catheter as a Bridge to Patient-Controlled Thoracic Epidural Analgesia in Unilateral Lung Transplantation

Erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks may be an acceptable alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia during the postoperative period in lung transplant patients. In this case report, we describe the use of an ESP block to manage acute postoperative pain in a unilateral lung transplant, although it was...

description Erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks may be an acceptable alternative to thoracic epidural analgesia during the postoperative period in lung transplant patients. In this case report, we describe the use of an ESP block to manage acute postoperative pain in a unilateral lung transplant, although it was inferior to the thoracic epidural, which was eventually placed.
