Trunk Block: Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks

Anesthesiology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

TAP blocks provide incisional analgesia for the abdominal wall and are indicated for procedures with midline or near midline abdominal incisions. Injection occurs in the plane between abdominal muscles depending on the type of block performed. Risks include toxicity, infection, and injury to visceral structures. TAP blocks provide similar analgesia with less risk and side effects when compared to epidural analgesia. Similar to other compartment blocks, TAP blocks are volume dependent and require bilateral injections if the incision is midline.
