An Image Study on Local Anesthetic Spread in Healthy Volunteers Receiving Subcostal Exterior Semilunaris Transversus Abdominis Plane (SE-TAP) Block.
Abstract
Despite the popularity of the ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and the diversity of advancing approaches, the extent of injectate spread limits its clinical benefits. This study used three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) imaging and a cold stimulus to evaluate the spread of a local anesthetic injected through the subcostal exterior semilunaris to transversus abdominis plane (SE-TAP) block in healthy volunteers.
