ABSTRACT
Abstract The ultrasound-guided intercostal nerves (cutaneous branches) block in the mid-axillary line at the level of the 8th rib (modified BRILMA) is an analgesic technique described back in 2015. Four patients undergoing open gastrectomy (who are not candidates for epidural analgesia) are discussed. The patients underwent the above-mentioned bilateral block, with the administration of 15 mL of levobupivacaine 0.5% into the fascial plane, between the serratus anterior muscle and the external intercostal muscle, with the aim of blocking the intercostal nerves T6 to 11. Postoperative pain control was adequate, with low levels of opioids used. There were no complications associated with the technique.
RESUMEN
Resumen El bloqueo ecoguiado de los nervios intercostales (ramas cutáneas) en la línea media axilar a nivel de la 8 costilla (BRILMA modificado) es una técnica analgésica descrita en 2015. Se presentan cuatro pacientes sometidos a gastrectomía abierta (sin posibilidad de administrar la analgesia epidural), a los que se realizó este bloqueo de manera bilateral. Se depositaron 15 ml de levobupivacaína 0,5% en el plano fascial entre el musculo serrato anterior y el intercostal externo, con el objetivo de bloquear los nervios intercostales T6-11. El control postoperatorio del dolor en los pacientes fue adecuado, con escaso consumo de opioides. No hubo complicaciones asociadas a la técnica.
