The median effective analgesic dose (ED50) of ropivacaine in ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block for analgesia in reversal of ileostomy: A double-blind up-down dose-finding study

CONCLUSION: The ED50 of ropivacaine in TAP blocks in reversal of ileostomy is close to the toxic threshold. Anaesthesiologists should always be aware of the systemic toxicity risk and use weight-based doses when performing a TAP block.
