Erector spinae plane block in laparoscopic nephrectomy as a cause of involuntary hemodynamic instability: A case report

Abstract: The Ultrasound‐guided erector spinae plane block (US‐ESPB), used as an anesthesiological block for opioid‐sparing approach and for postoperative analgesia, could represent an involuntary cause of hemodynamic instability. This hemodynamic instability is accentuated by a greater diffusion of local anesthetic in the epidural space.

“… 38 It must be remembered that sensory blocks, as well as fascia blocks, are not without complications. 39 In patients undergoing primary total knee implantation, a single-shot block in the context of multimodal analgesia is also optimal for pain management in the first 24 hours after surgery. 16 Neuromuscular diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, are not contraindications to loco-regional anesthesia.…”

“…Although a Erector spinae block combined with lumbar plexus block, paravertebral block, and sacral plexus blocks with the support of sedoanalgesia could be performed in this case to minimize the risk of hemodynamic fluctuations and dural puncture related to NA, however the risk of local anesthetic toxicity would be effectively increased considering the total volume and dose administration. 16 , 17 , 18 Epidural anesthesia was therefore our choice because it may offer several advantages over SA and GA in patients with ACM‐1,5. These advantages include avoidance the risk of difficult intubation and unsuccessful airway protection, reduced incidence of hypotension and deterioration of autonomic neuropathy, and minimal change in intracranial pressure if the anesthetic is titrated gradually.…”

“…Schwartzmann[22] et al in an observational MRI study of local anesthetic (29.7mL 0.25% bupivacaine and 0.3mL gadolinium) in six pain patients, erector, spinal dorsal branch, intercostal space, and foramina, two of which spread to the epidural space. Another case report [23] found that the patient had T8 level ESPB and injected 0.5% ropivacaine 20ml. The patient developed severe hypotension and blocked segment T2-L5.The occurrence of intraoperative hypotension may be related to the extensive epidural spread of local anesthesia.Some studies have shown that the QLB-II block effect is less precise, rarely blocked to the thoracic paravertebral space,affected by large individual differences.In a study[24],three different approaches injected 0.375% ropivacaine in 18ml and 2mL contrast medium,then performed 3D computed tomography (3D-CT) to evaluate the distribution of the injection, which showed that only QLB-III occasionally spread to the thoracic side, whereas QLB-I and QLB-II only spread in the transverse fascia plane and posterior muscle.…”
