Surgeon-Placed Erector Spinae Plane Catheters for Multilevel Lumbar Spine Fusion: Technique and Outcomes Compared With Single-Shot Blocks

Abstract: Background: Postoperative pain management of multilevel lumbar fusion remains challenging. There are few reports of opioid-sparing regional analgesia for spine surgery. We present a novel method for surgeon-placed erector spinae plane (ESP) catheters for multilevel lumbar spine fusion and compare pain-and opioid-related outcomes in a matched cohort who received anesthesiologist-placed ESP blocks.Methods: A retrospective matched pilot study of 18 patients: 6 received intraoperative, bilateral ESP catheters.

“…Similar to the previous point, no prospective, randomized study is available to evaluate the effects of cESP catheters. Only case reports[ 12 13 14 ] and retrospective analysis[ 15 ] are available, and no complication was reported in these small numbers of patients. [ 12 13 14 15 ]…”

“…In recent studies, PNBs have outshone LA infiltration in this matter 73,74 . In addition, similar to epidural catheters, surgeons are able to insert PVB or ESP catheters directly between desired muscles toward the end of surgery, reducing the risk of surgical damage as these are placed under direct visualization 44,53 . See Table 1 for comparisons of neuraxial and PNB techniques in the adult and pediatric population.…”

“…[47][48][49][50][51] Other benefits include intraoperative opioid sparing, 47 less postoperative NV, 47,51 and better patient satisfaction. [49][50][51] ESPB also provides an opportunity to provide prolonged analgesia through catheters, 52,53 or the addition of adjuvants like dexmedetomidine, but more studies are warranted. 54 Contrary to adult data, a meta-analysis of seven trials involving 379 patients by Luo et al 55 did not confirm the superiority and efficacy of ESPB in the pediatric population.…”
