Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Herpes zoster (HZV) is a painful vesicular rash that occurs after reactivation in immunosuppressed patients. Analgesia in this patient population has been notoriously difficult. The serratus anterior and erector spinae plane block have both been described as effective thoracic analgesic techniques, but data are limited on their use in HZV.
CASE REPORT: A middle-aged man with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia presented to the emergency department (ED) with chest and back pain associated with cutaneous rash. Traditional pain regimens were not effective; therefore, a serratus anterior plane block was performed using 25 mL of 0.25% of bupivacaine. The patient's pain decreased from 10 to 2 in 20 min and the patient was discharged without further analgesia. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: As opiate use decreases in prevalence and utility in the ED, alternatives to analgesia are sought. We describe the technique of regional anesthesia using a serratus anterior plane block as another modality that physicians can use to address HZV-related pain.
