She did not present hyperalgesia or allodynia. Pain was restricted to the lumbar area with no pain irradiation, and worsened with movement, and improved with rest. Moreover, palpation revealed some painful muscular contractures of the paravertebral muscles.</p><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Before general anaesthesia induction, we performed a modified ultrasound guided erector spinae block at the lumbar level L4.

The patient was extremely satisfied with the analgesic strategy.</p></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0035">Discussion</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In the original description of thoracic ESPB, three muscles are identified superficial to the hyperechoic transverse process shadow: trapezius, rhomboid major, and erector spinae. The trapezius muscle originates in the superior nuchal line, inion, nuchal ligament and spinous processes of C7–T12, and inserts onto the clavicle and scapula, whereas the rhomboid major muscle arises from the spinous processes of T2–5 and inserts onto the scapula. The erector spinae can be thought of as a group of three muscles that extend from the occipital region to a common insertion point in a large. broad tendon on the back of the sacrum, the inner side of the iliac crest, sacroiliac ligaments, and lumbosacral spinous processes. Given this, only the erector spinae muscle can be identified at the lumbar level superficial to the transverse processes, covered by the thoracolumbar fascia. The erector spinae's relationship with the paravertebral space and neighbouring structures does not change from the thoracic to lumbar region, justifying the block's feasibility at the lumbar level.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The ESPB is an effective, simple and safe analgesic technique with numerous applications, particularly when compared to paravertebral block and epidural analgesia techniques, with their well-known risks and side effects. The patient was pain-free and able to move independently from the moment she awoke, which allowed for rapid recovery and discharge. IV dexamethasone might have contributed to a prolonged block, as seen in other regional techniques.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0100"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a> Other authors typically mention a volume of 20–30<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ml per side while performing this block; nonetheless, we opted for a lower volume due to the need for less extensive dermatomal coverage, theoretical lower risk of hypotensive episodes, and satisfactory spread observed during injection.</p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">While short-acting opioids are a highly popular hypotensive strategy in this type of procedure, they are not required when the block is performed preoperatively, other than fentanyl for orotracheal intubation. This might be due to spread of the local anaesthetic to the paravertebral and epidural spaces, which blocks the thoracolumbar outflow of the sympathetic nervous system.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0065"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> The resulting vasodilation and hypotension are invaluable in spine surgery as they reduce intra and postoperative haemorrhage, and this, in our opinion, is another advantage of the ESPB. Thus, we believe the ESPB may play an important role in reducing remifentanil-induced hyperalgesia (a problem which, to our knowledge, only <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">N</span>-methyl-<span class="elsevierStyleSmallCaps">d</span>-aspartate receptor antagonists, such as ketamine and magnesium sulphate, can ameliorate). It may also prevent chronic postoperative pain and enable opioid-free anaesthesia strategies.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0095"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">We emphasise the need for studies in the application of ESPB in spine surgery and its possible complications. Anaesthesiologists must be alert for accidental dura mater tear during the surgical procedure. This can allow a considerable amount of local anaesthetic to infiltrate the subarachnoid space, and could result in high, or even total, spinal block. Vigilance and effective communication between the anaesthetic and surgical teams is essential to avoid this, or to promptly identify and resolve such an event should it occur. Performing the block postoperatively would lower this risk, but may also compromise many of its intraoperative advantages.</p><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In summary, the ESPB has numerous applications, and is a simple, safe analgesic approach in lumbar spine surgery, with multiple advantages that extend well beyond its analgesic efficacy.</p></span><span id="sec0020" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0040">Funding</span><p id="par0080" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no funding to declare.</p></span><span id="sec0025" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0045">Conflict of interest</span><p id="par0085" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The authors have no conflicts of interest to declare.</p></span></span>" "textoCompletoSecciones" => array:1 [ "secciones" => array:11 [ 0 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1160521" "titulo" => "Abstract" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0005" ] ] ] 1 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1086817" "titulo" => "Keywords" ] 2 => array:3 [ "identificador" => "xres1160522" "titulo" => "Resumen" "secciones" => array:1 [ 0 => array:1 [ "identificador" => "abst0010" ] ] ] 3 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1086816" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" ] 4 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0005" "titulo" => "Introduction" ] 5 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0010" "titulo" => "Clinical case" ] 6 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0015" "titulo" => "Discussion" ] 7 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0020" "titulo" => "Funding" ] 8 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "sec0025" "titulo" => "Conflict of interest" ] 9 => array:2 [ "identificador" => "xack396243" "titulo" => "Acknowledgement" ] 10 => array:1 [ "titulo" => "References" ] ] ] "pdfFichero" => "main.pdf" "tienePdf" => true "fechaRecibido" => "2018-06-30" "fechaAceptado" => "2018-10-09" "PalabrasClave" => array:2 [ "en" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Keywords" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1086817" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Lumbar spine surgery" 1 => "Erector spinae plane block" 2 => "Multimodal analgesia" 3 => "Regional anaesthesia" ] ] ] "es" => array:1 [ 0 => array:4 [ "clase" => "keyword" "titulo" => "Palabras clave" "identificador" => "xpalclavsec1086816" "palabras" => array:4 [ 0 => "Cirugía de la columna lumbar" 1 => "Bloqueo del plano del erector de la columna" 2 => "Analgesia multimodal" 3 => "Anestesia regional" ] ] ] ] "tieneResumen" => true "resumen" => array:2 [ "en" => array:2 [ "titulo" => "Abstract" "resumen" => "<span id="abst0005" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><p id="spar0005" class="elsevierStyleSimplePara elsevierViewall">We report the successful clinical case of a patient scheduled for lumbar spine surgery in which we performed a bilateral single-shot erector spinae plane block as part of a multimodal analgesic strategy for pain control.

Further, there was no need for hypotensive techniques, as the block provided satisfactory sympathetic blockade and regional vasodilation with a clear surgical field. Postoperatively, the patient had minor opioid consumption and was able to freely move without any motor impairment or pain from early on in the Post Anaesthesia Care Unit.
