Erecto Spinae Plane Block group
the paravertebral group
a high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer will be placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral to the T7 spinous process. This should reveal three muscles superficial to the hyperechoic transverse process shadow as follows: trapezius, rhomboid major, and erector spinae. The skin will be anaesthetized using 3ml of 2% Lidocaine. A 20-gauge block needle will be inserted in-plane in a cephalad-to-caudad direction to place the tip into the fascial plane on the deep (anterior) aspect of erector spinaemuscle;20ml bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected. The location of the needle tip will be confirmed by visible fluid spread lifting erector spinae muscle off the bony shadow of the transverse process The needle will be removed and the catheter secured with adhesive.
After identification of the transverse process, internal intercostal membrane (IIM), and pleura at the T3 and T6 levels, an out-of-plane needle guidance technique was used to perform the PVB.The success of both blocks will be confirmed by loss of pinprick sensation on the dermatomal site of the block •blocks will be activated ,After negative aspiration, 0.5 ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine (max 20 ml) will be injected. Afterwards, a 20 gauge peripheral nerve catheter will be easily threaded into the space. The needle will be removed and the catheter secured with adhesive.
