Regional Anesthetic Use in Trans-Hiatal Esophagectomy. Are They Worth Consideration? A Case Series
CONCLUSION: The results of this study demonstrated immediate extubation is possible using TAP blocks while limiting post-operative hypotension and fluid administration. This was shown despite the elevated comorbidity burden of this study's population. Overall, this study supports the use of TAP blocks as a possible alternative for primary analgesia in patients undergoing trans-hiatal esophagectomy.TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study includes participants who were retrospectively registered.
