Abstract:
Use of continuous erector spinae plane (ESP) blocks for pectus excavatum repair may be a valuable alternative to thoracic epidural placement. This report describes the successful use of bilateral ESP blocks in 2 patients with complex medical histories in which thoracic epidural placement was either contraindicated or unsuccessful. The benefits of continuous ESP blocks in this subset of patients include pain control with a focus on opioid sparing, early extubation, decreased atelectasis, improved mobilization and physical therapy, and decreased length of hospital stay.

Work Done Over an Inclined Plane
The work done by gravity to move a rigid body, or the work done by an opposing force to move a rigid body against gravity, can be calculated using the center-of-mass framework. It is the line integral of the force of gravity over the path, considered positive if...

Body Planes
The sagittal plane is the plane that divides the body or an organ vertically into right and left sides. If this vertical plane runs directly down the middle of the body resulting in equal division, it is called the midsagittal or median...
