Ultrasound-Guided Analgesia in Cardiac and Breast Surgeries: A Cadaveric Comparison of SPIP Block with Single and Double Injections vs. DPIP Block by Carmelo Pirri, Debora Emanuela Torre, Astrid Ursula Behr, Veronica Macchi, Andrea Porzionato, Raffaele De Caro, Carla Stecco

“…In both qualitative and quantitative evaluations, the single-injection SPIP block with 10 mL of dye demonstrated a broader and more extensive spread compared to the double-injection SPIP block, which used 5 mL of dye per injection site (<i>p</i> < 0.05), and the DPIP block with 10 mL of dye (<i>p</i> < 0.05). All the blocks had a positive correlation between the distances from the sternum border and the area of dye spread, suggesting that the crucial role of volume in fascial blocks is that it significantly affects the opening of the fascial compartment, enabling optimal spread of the anesthetic. …”
