Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - 90 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients older than 18 years, in the acute / chronic pain service that presents pain in the thoracic region and / or upper hemiabdomen.

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Erector Spinae Plane Block

Arm Description

Patients with chest pain or upper abdomen underwent Erector Spinae Plane Block guided by ultrasound, bupivacaine 0.5% 20 ml was administered in the interfascial plane between the transverse process of T5 and the erector muscles of the spine, 60 minutes after dermatomes distribution was evaluated with pinprick and cold.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Dermatomes with sensitive block
Number (average) of dermatomes with sensitive block with pinprick and cold achieved at 60 minutes after the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block with 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.5%. Also, observe the distribution pattern.

Secondary Outcome Measures

weight
weight in kilograms and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.
Adverse events
Frequency of adverse events (hypotension, pneumothorax, neurological deficit, bradycardia) after the Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block.
Success rate
Success rate (Blocking of at least 2 continuous dermatomes at the puncture site measured with pinprick and cold)
Degree of satisfaction
Degree of satisfaction evaluated with the Likert scale of 4 points (1 dissatisfied, 2 slightly dissatisfied, 3 slightly satisfied, 4 satisfied).
Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)
Change From Baseline in Pain Scores on the Visual analogue scale (VAS) from 1 to 10 at 60 minutes and 24 hours after the ESP block.
Height
Height in meters and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.
Age
Age in years and its correlation with the main result The variables were grouped in means (standard deviation) for continuous variables and frequencies (percentages) for categorical variables.
