Review Meta Analysis
Analgesic efficacy and safety of erector spinae plane block in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery: A systematic review and Meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is commonly used for perioperative analgesia in adults; however, its analgesic efficacy and safety in pediatric patients remain uncertain. This review aimed to determine whether ultrasound-guided ESPB can improve analgesic efficacy and safety in pediatric surgery. ⋯ ESPB provides effective and safe perioperative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia.

Review Meta AnalysisThe Analgesic Effect of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in Median Sternotomy Cardiac Surgery in Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
To assess the analgesic effect of erector spinae plane block in adults undergoing median sternotomy cardiac surgery. ⋯ Erector spinae plane block decreased pain scores within 12 hours after extubation, reached the minimal clinically important difference within 6 hours, and decreased opioid consumption 24 hours after surgery, based on data of very low to moderate quality. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials are necessary to validate these findings.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
From pain level to pain experience: redefining acute pain assessment to enhance understanding of chronic postsurgical pain.
Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) significantly impairs quality of life and poses a substantial healthcare burden, affecting up to a quarter of patients undergoing surgery. Although acute pain is recognised as a predictor for CPSP development, the role of patient experience remains underexplored. This study examines the predictive value of patient experience alongside traditional risk factors for CPSP after orthopaedic surgery. ⋯ This study underscores the role of patient-reported outcomes, specifically the pain experience dimension captured by the EVAN-G scale, in prediction of CPSP 90 days after surgery. It suggests a shift from conventional assessments of pain intensity to a comprehensive understanding of pain experience, advocating for tailored pain management approaches that could reduce chronic pain, thereby improving patient quality of life and functional recovery.

Review Practice Guideline
Peri-operative pain management in adults: a multidisciplinary consensus statement from the Association of Anaesthetists and the British Pain Society.
Nearly half of adult patients undergoing surgery experience moderate or severe postoperative pain. Inadequate pain management hampers postoperative recovery and function and may be associated with adverse outcomes. This multidisciplinary consensus statement provides principles that might aid postoperative recovery, and which should be applied throughout the entire peri-operative pathway by healthcare professionals, institutions and patients. ⋯ We hope that with attention to these principles and their implementation, outcomes for adult patients having surgery might be improved.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyComparison of erector spinae plane and transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia after caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia: A randomised controlled trial.
Truncal blocks contribute to multimodal analgesia that enhances early recovery after caesarean delivery. The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is an established technique that offers somatic abdominal wall analgesia. The erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a fascial plane technique that may offer additional visceral analgesic effects. This study hypothesized that ESP block would offer superior analgesic efficacy to TAP block in women undergoing caesarean delivery under spinal anaesthesia. ⋯ This study found similar postoperative opioid use and analgesic efficacy between ESP and TAP block after caesarean delivery performed under spinal anaesthesia.
