ReviewIs a One Prognostic Block Sufficient to Proceed with Radiofrequency Ablation? A Single Center Experience.
We performed this study and associated review to examine whether a one prognostic block is sufficient to proceed with radiofrequency ablation. ⋯ To perform one or two prognostic blocks before performing radiofrequency ablation is a very controversial issue. The practice is inconsistent and insurance companies even do not follow same regulations. We found in our research that majority of patients who receive a successful first prognostic block also receive a successful second prognostic block. We think one prognostic block can be sufficient to move forward with radiofrequency ablation.

Observational Study
The erector spinae plane block causes only cutaneous sensory loss on ipsilateral posterior thorax: a prospective observational volunteer study.
Ultrasound-guided erector spine plane (ESP) block is widely used in perioperative analgesia for back, chest and abdominal surgery. The extent and distribution of this block remain controversial. This study was performed to assess the analgesia range of an ultrasound-guided ESP block. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided erector spine plane block with 20 mL of 0. 5% ropivacaine provided a widespread cutaneous sensory block in the posterior thorax, but did not reach the anterior chest, lateral chest, or abdominal walls. The range of the blockade suggested that the dorsal branch of spinal nerve was blocked.

Meta Analysis
Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block for postoperative analgesia: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) has been increasingly applied in patients for postoperative analgesia. Its effectiveness remain uncertain. This meta-analysis aimed to determine the clinical efficacy of ultrasound-guided ESPB in adults undergoing general anesthesia (GA) surgeries. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided ESPB provides effective postoperative analgesic in adults undergoing GA surgeries.

Review Meta AnalysisPerioperative transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks for analgesia after abdominal surgery.
At April 2020, this review has been withdrawn. It is correct at the date of publication, and previous versions can be accessed in the 'Other versions' tab on the Cochrane Library. We are aware of new studies to potentially change the conclusions, however the update did not meet the timelines and expectations of Cochrane and the PaPaS review group.
