ARECHIGA-ORNELAS, Guillermo Eduardo et al. Erector Spinae Plane Block in pediatric cancer pain: Case report. Rev. colomb. anestesiol. [online]. 2022, vol.50, n.2, e501.  Epub 25-Mayo-2022. ISSN 0120-3347.  https://doi.org/10.5554/22562087.e1014.

The advent of the erector spinae plane block brought a new therapeutic option in a multimodal analgesia strategy, as evidenced in this case, which describes a five-year old pre-school patient who presented with severe abdominal cancer pain, secondary to an abdominal neuroblastoma, with partial high-dose opioid response, undergoing bilateral erector spinal plane block. The technique used did not give rise to complications and proved to be effective in blocking pain and reducing the opioid dosage 36 hours after the procedure. The paper discusses the variables involved in the administration mode (continuous infusion vs. bolus) and the benefit for optimal analgesia in the pediatric oncology setting.
