Barrington Summary Ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block can be performed using a subcostal technique. This technique was simulated using dye injection in cadavers in order to determine segmental nerve involvement and spread of injectate using either single or multiple-injection techniques. Dye most commonly spread to affect T9 and T10 nerves with the single injection technique and T9, T10 and T11 with multiple injections. The median (IQR [range]) spread of dye was 60 (36,63 [32,78]) cm2 using the single-injection technique and 90 (85,96 [72,136]) cm2, in the multiple-injection technique, and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.003). These results indicate that ultrasound-guided subcostal TAP block will involve nerve roots T9, T10 and T11 and that a multiple-injection technique may block more segmental nerves and increase spread of injectate.

Finnerty Summary In this review, we discuss the central non-neuraxial regional anaesthesia blocks of the abdomen, including intercostal and intrapleural blocks, rectus sheath and ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric blocks, transversus abdominis plane blocks and paravertebral blocks.
