Local anesthetic systemic toxicity following erector spinae plane block: sometimes less is more

Abstract

In their recent communication Yawata et al. I commend the authors for sharing their experience, although contrary to their assertion there has in fact been a previous report of this complication in the literature However, the previous report by Karaca and Pinar [2] had critical omissions that made it of limited value, most notably the body weight of the patient, and the concentration of local anesthetic (LA) drugs used.
