Brief Summary   Ultrasound  guided erector spinae plane block is a novel analgesic technique in which local anaesthetics is injected into facial plane deep to erector spinae muscle.The drug penetrates anteriorly via costo transverse foramen into the vicinity of origin of dorsal and ventral rami of thoracic nerves and blocking them.
The drug spreads in cranial caudal fashion over several levels.These blocks are easy to perform with a potential low risk profile
