He had gone coronary artery bypass grafting and was taking aspirin. After induction of general anesthesia and tracheal intubation, a catheter was inserted for ESPB from the T6 level under ultrasound monitoring and infusion of ropivacaine was started. Tracheal tube was removed in the operating room, cold sense was absent between T2\u20138, and analgesia was between T3\u2013T8 after uneventful surgery. There were no complications associated with ESPB postoperatively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Continuous ESPB was a safe and useful analgesic method in a case undergoing sternum closure using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s40981-020-00370-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,19]],"date-time":"2020-08-19T15:04:04Z","timestamp":1597849444000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Continuous erector spinae plane block for analgesia of sternum closure using a latissimus dorsi muscle flap for mediastinitis after coronary artery bypass grafting: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Yu","family":"Yamane","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Masayuki","family":"Kosaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haruki","family":"Akiizumi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mitsuo","family":"Kuroda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"370_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"621","DOI":"10.1097\/AAP.0000000000000451","volume":"41","author":"M Forero","year":"2016","unstructured":"Forero M, Adhikary SD, Lopez H, Tsui C, Chin KJ.
