Summary

Dyspnea is common and distressing in patients with acute respiratory failure. In our intensive care unit, some patients receive a cervical erector spinae plane (ESP) block to help relieve dyspnea. This study will observe patients who receive bilateral cervical ESP blocks and measure changes in dyspnea using validated scales at predefined time points over 24 hours. We will also track vital signs, arterial blood gas values, and diaphragm movement on ultrasound.
