Factors to consider for fascial plane blocks' success in acute and chronic pain management.
The outcome of fascial plane blocks (FPBs) has a certain variability that may depend on many factors, which can be divided into three main categories: operator-related, patient-related and drug-related. Operator-related factors include personal skills, choice of needle and injection modalities. ⋯ In this article, we investigated all the factors that may influence the outcome of FPBs from a generic perspective, without focusing on any specific technique. Also, we provided suggestions to optimize techniques for everyday practitioners and insights to researchers for future studies.
