Brief Summary: The thoracic erector spinae plane ESP block is suggested to potentially affect the stellate ganglion a key component of the sympathetic nervous system thereby influencing autonomic functions Changes in optic nerve sheath diameter ONSD are used as indicators of intracranial pressure changes This study aims to investigate the effects of the ESP block on ONSD providing insights into its impact on the stellate ganglion and enhancing the understanding of the ESP blocks safety and efficacy
Detailed Description: The thoracic erector spinae plane ESP block is a regional anesthesia technique This technique involves the injection of local anesthetics into the deep layers of the erector spinae muscles blocking both somatic and visceral pain pathways Although various studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of this technique in different clinical situations over the years further research is needed to understand the precise mechanisms behind its neuroanatomical effects

The stellate ganglion an important component of the sympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in the regulation of several autonomic functions It has been suggested that the ESP block may affect the stellate ganglion through its injection at the upper thoracic levels Changes in the optic nerve sheath diameter ONSD have been used as an important indicator of intracranial pressure changes Any potential changes in ONSD following stellate ganglion blockade could help elucidate the effects of the ESP block thus aiding in the understanding of its safety and potential benefits for analgesia

The aim of this study is to investigate the changes in optic nerve sheath diameter in patients undergoing the thoracic ESP block which could provide more information on the impact of the ESP block on the stellate ganglion By doing so we aim to gain further insights into the potential analgesic effects and safety of the ESP block
