Description
A CASE STUDY : ESP Block for abdominal surgery in paediatrics
Objectives
Present a Pediatric Surgical Case Requiring Regional Anaesthesia
Share clinical details of an 8-month-old patient undergoing Ladd’s procedure for jejunal stenosis with malrotation.
Review Preoperative Assessment and Anaesthetic Planning
Discuss patient history, examination findings, and anaesthetic strategy including airway management and induction.
Demonstrate the Technique and Application of ESP Block
Describe the ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block procedure, medication preparation, and anatomical landmarks.
Evaluate Intraoperative and Postoperative Outcomes
Analyze vital signs, analgesic requirements, and recovery following ESP block and general anaesthesia.
Explore the Evidence and Mechanisms Behind ESP Block
Review cadaveric studies, spread of local anaesthetic, and comparative effectiveness with other regional blocks.
Compare ESP Block with Other Techniques
Contrast ESP with QL and TAP blocks in terms of efficacy, safety, and technical simplicity.
Discuss the Role of Adjuvants in Regional Anaesthesia
Examine the use of dexmedetomidine, clonidine, and opioids to enhance block duration and recovery quality.
Highlight Indications and Advantages of ESP Block
Identify surgical scenarios where ESP block is beneficial and outline its safety profile and versatility.
Promote Evidence-Based Practice in Paediatric Regional Anaesthesia
Integrate literature findings to support clinical decisions and encourage further research and quality improvement.
