Postoperative "Rescue" Use of Erector Spinae Plane Block After Lumbar Spine Fusion: A Report of 2 Cases.

We present a report of two cases that highlight the efficacy of the ESP block as an early postoperative "rescue" regional anesthetic technique in lumbar spine surgery. These cases demonstrate the potential effectiveness of a "rescue" use of the ESP block in patients having uncontrolled or poorly controlled pain in the early postoperative period with no evidence of significant side effects.
