Summary
Interfascial plane blocks have been developed for analgesia, among which the erector spinae
plane (ESP) has gained popularity. The ESP block has been hypothesized to provide truncal
analgesia by spread of local anesthetic into the paravertebral space. Recent studies have
contested this idea showing unreliability in the spread of the local anesthetic into the
paravertebral space.
