ESP Block in VATS: Programmed Intermittent Bolus Versus Continuous Infusion on Quality of Recovery
Fascial plane blocks, such as ESP, rely on the spread of local anaesthetic on an interfacial plane, automated boluses may be particularly useful for this group of blocks. However, until recently, ambulatory pumps capable of providing automated boluses in addition to patient-controlled boluses were not widely available. To best of our knowledge, there are no randomised controlled trials comparing continuous infusion versus intermittent bolus strategies for Erector Spinae Plane Block for MITS in terms of patient centred outcomes such as quality of recovery.
