Is anyone using (TAP) transversus abdominis plane blocks? With/without ultrasound? For what surgeries?
I used them with some success for C-sections in residency.
I am interested in looking for new ways to expand our pain service. A gastric bypass program has started at our hospital; interested if they might be helpful for these folks. Granted they might be a bit more challenging in these folks, but I like the idea (reduced post-op opiod use, improved pain scores, etc.....)
