The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block: Abdominal plane regional anaesthesia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
HISTORY OF THE TAP BLOCK Abdominal field blocks and costo-iliac block have been used in anaesthesia for surgery involving the anterior abdominal wall for several decades. A technique involving multiple injections of local anaesthetic in the abdominal wall was used in the 1980s.1 This technique was improved with a blind landmark technique, via the ‘lumbar triangle of Petit’.2 The clinical efficacy of the landmark technique and, more recently, ultrasound guided The Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block: Abdominal plane regional anaesthesia

BACKGROUND The transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a new regional anaesthesia technique that provides analgesia after abdominal surgery. It involves injection of local anaesthetic into the plane between the transversus abdominis and the internal oblique muscles. The TAP block can be performed using a landmark technique through the lumbar triangle or with ultrasound guidance. The goal of ...
متن کاملShould we stop doing blind transversus abdominis plane blocks?
BACKGROUND Any landmark-based regional anaesthetic technique raises two important issues. The first is the accuracy of placement of the needle and thus the local anaesthetic in a 'blind' technique and the second is the potential for damage to adjacent structures. We designed a prospective, blinded study in an adult general surgical population to evaluate with ultrasound the placement of the nee...

Background Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block is a regional anesthetic technique that blocks the abdominal wall neural afferents by introducing local anesthetic into the neurofascial plane between the internal oblique and transverses abdominis muscles. Randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the efficacy of TAP block as a component of a multimodal regimen, in providing postoperative...

Editor’s key points † This randomized, singleblinded study compared two differents local anaesthetic blocks for hernia repair. † Patients received either USguided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block or blinded ilioinguinal/ iliohypogastric nerve (IHN) blocks. † Ultrasound-guided TAP block produces less pain until 24 h with an opioidsparing effect without differences at 3 and 6 months after ...

Fifteen years have now elapsed since the first publication appeared on Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block, by Rafi et al. [1] it has described as the deposition of local anaesthetic drug in the neurovascular plane sited between transversus muscle and internal oblique muscle in correspondence of lumbar triangle of Petit, the anatomical space formed by the margin of the latissimus dorsi post...
