Thoracic paravertebral block: Lateral to medial in-plane needle insertion with transducer in axial orientation
When performing a thoracic paravertebral block with lateral to medial needle insertion, it is important to avoid targeting the medial paravertebral space (A), to minimize the risk of neuraxial injection. The target should be the lateral zone of the paravertebral space (B).
