Summary

Intertransverse process block (ITPB) is a thoracic nerve block technique where the LA is injected into the thoracic "intertransverse tissue complex" posterior to the superior costotransverse ligament (SCTL). It may be an attractive alternative to a TPVB for unilateral surgery on the thorax, when considering the risk for pleural puncture, since it does not require direct needle access to the thoracic paravertebral space. However, although ITPB is ultrasound guided, the LA is frequently injected using surrogate bony landmarks in the sagittal sonogram, and in most cases without even identifying the SCTL.

Conditions

  • Intertransverse Process Block
  • Thoracic Nerve Block
  • Thoracic Paravertebral Block

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Intertransverse process block

The ITPB block at T5-6 will be performed with a mixture of local anesthetic with MRI contrast 0.5% bupivacaine 10 ml and 0.5 ml contrast in concentration 3.09 mmol/l. Volunteers will be moved to MRI machine and imaged in a supine position for their whole thoracic spine. This process will last about 45-60 minutes.
