Spinal anesthesia and multimodal analgesia using erector spinae plane block and magnesium sulfate in a patient with systemic sclerosis undergoing laminectomy: a case report

Background: The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a relatively novel regional anesthesia technique that has gained popularity for various surgical procedures, including spine surgery. Case presentation: We describe the successful application of spinal anesthesia (SA), ESPB, and magnesium sulfate in a female patient with a history of systemic sclerosis and pulmonary fibrosis undergoing laminectomy. Conclusions: Our application of this multimodal anesthesia technique resulted in efficient pain management and a complication-free perioperative course despite significant risks associated with the patient’s underlying condition.
