Three reference plane was determined using image analysis software; (1) iliac plane (IP), which contains the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS), the anterior margin of sacroiliac joint (AMS), and the posterior margin of pubic symphysis (PMS), (2) pelvic inlet plane (PIP), which contains the AMS of both sides, and the PMS, (3) sagittal midline plane of the pelvis (SMP). The ideal insertion point and angles of the APCS, and its maximum length were measured. The ideal insertion point was measured on the line connecting ASIS and AMS (AA line) at a distance from AMS (APCS horizontal distance) and vertical distance from AA line (APCS vertical distance).

Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is increasingly used to manage pain in patients with rib fractures. However, ESPBs are often performed by proceduralists with extensive experience in regional anesthesia. The purpose of this study was to determine whether nonspecialized physicians could effectively perform ESPBs in patients with rib fracture pain in the emergency department.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>In a prospective convenience sample of 19 patients who came to the emergency department with rib fractures, ESPBs were performed by resident physicians under the supervision of experienced attending physicians. Pain scores, opioid use in morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day, forced vital capacity, and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) were compared before and at several time points after ESPB.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Pain scores were higher before ESPB (median [IQR], 7.0 [6.0-8.0]) than at any time point after the procedure (P = .018). Median (IQR) opioid usage before ESPB was 57.6 (43.5-92.6) MME/d, which was significantly reduced at 24 h after ESPB (median [IQR], 51.5 [29.5-82.9] MME/d; P = .020) and during the remainder of the patients' stay (median [IQR], 33.8 [9.6-50.7] MME/d; P = .003). Further analyses showed that MIP before ESPB (median [IQR], 27.5 [6.3-32.5] cm H<sub>2</sub>O) was significantly lower than that at 0 to 6 h (median [IQR], 40.0 [35.0-60.0] cm H<sub>2</sub>O; P = .040), 12 to 18 h (median [IQR], 49.0 [30.0-60.0] cm H<sub>2</sub>O; P = .039), and 18 to 24 h (median [IQR], 60.0 [35.0-60.0] cm H<sub>2</sub>O; P = .028) after ESPB.
