Background An erector spinae plane block is a relatively new regional anesthetic technique. Apart from case reports and small series, the literature regarding pediatric use is limited. Aim Our objective was to determine the efficacy of the erector spinae plane block in children by measuring the heart rate response to incision. Secondary objectives included feasibility, safety, opioid consumption, and pain scores. Furthermore, we reviewed this block in children published since 2016. Study design Case Series; Level of evidence, IV. Methods With Institutional Review Board approval, a retrospective chart review was conducted on all patients who received erector spinae plane block for surgery between October 2017 and May 2019 at a single institution. Blocks were performed under anesthesia, using ultrasound guidance prior to surgical incision. Block details and hemodynamic and analgesic data were collected. In addition, a PubMed literature review was conducted to identify all erector spinae plane block related publications in patients ≤18 years of age. Results About 164 patients, 2 days‐19.4 years, weighing 2.3‐94.7 kg, received erector spinae plane blocks. For more than 79% of single injection blocks, placement time was ≤10 minutes. Using a heart rate increase of <10% at skin incision as criterion, 70.1% of patients had a successful block. Only 20% required long‐acting opioids intraoperatively. In a subset of infants who underwent gastrostomy surgery using a dose of 0.5 mL/kg, a local anesthetic spread of at least five dermatomes (0.1 mL/kg/dermatome) was achieved. Per the literature review, 33 publications described erector spinae plane block in 128 children. No complications were reported. Conclusion Erector spinae plane blocks are relatively easy to perform in children with no complications reported to date. The efficacy of the block for a broad spectrum of surgeries, involving incisions from T1 to L4, is encouraging.

“…The use of the ESP block is limited to the thoracic region in the pediatric population, with only a few reports (Table 1). It has been reported to provide effective postoperative analgesia for thoracic surgeries [6–10], nephrectomy [11], inguinal hernia repair [12], and laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations [13] in children. To our knowledge, ESP block performed in the lumbar region has not been reported in children.…”

“…In some previous reports, relatively smaller volumes of local anesthetic or similar volumes and concentrations as reported in this case were used. Hernandez et al [12] used a volume of 0.2 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine to perform an ESP block for inguinal hernia repair in a 2-month-old male patient. They also reported that they were able to achieve adequate anesthetic spread and analgesia with a volume of 0.2–0.3 ml/kg in other pediatric patients undergoing thoracic surgery.…”

The surgical repair of the hip is considered an extremely painful procedure. Managing pain in this surgery is challenging with several options available, each with limitations. Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a novel technique with promising results that have been reported in different types of surgery. Herein, we describe a case of successful ESP block for pediatric hip surgery which could be in the future an alternative technique for providing effective analgesia.

“…El bloqueo del ESP es una técnica recientemente descrita en pacientes adultos y para manejo de dolor neuropático, según mencionado por los autores (5). Actualmente el bloqueo ESP se viene realizando en la población pediátrica, con solo pocos informes (Tabla I), para manejo del dolor postoperatorio de cirugías torácicas (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17), nefrectomía (18), reparación de hernia inguinal (19), colecistectomía laparoscópica (20), displasia de cadera (21) e hipospadias (22). Hasta donde sabemos, el bloqueo ESP para dolor neuropático en niños aún no se ha reportado.…”

ABSTRACTPain management is a critical piece in the general care of the burned child.Neuropathic pain is one of its frequent consequences, which may appear at the beginning or during the wound healing process, accompanied by symptoms predominantly due to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, its management being an important challenge.
