Resumen
In humans, the aim of the transversus thoracis plane block is to desensitise the intercostal nerves running through this plane, providing analgesia to the anterior chest wall. Our objective was twofold: describing an ultrasound-guided transverse approach to the transversus thoracis plane and evaluating the spread of two injectable volumes in canine cadavers. Gross anatomy of the ventral thoracic area and sonoanatomy between the fifth and sixth costal cartilages were described in two dog cadavers. Eight cadavers were used to describe this approach and were subsequently dissected to evaluate the injectate spread and the intercostal nerves staining after low volume (0.5 mL kg−1) and high volume (1 mL kg−1) dye-lidocaine injection. After all injections, the injectable solution was distributed along the transversus thoracis plane, staining a median number (range) of 3 (2–4) and 4 (3–5) nerves with low and high volume, respectively (p = 0.014). The transverse approach to the transversus thoracis plane is a feasible, single injection point technique that provides the staining of several intercostal nerves. The injection of high versus low volume increases the number of stained nerves.
