Ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block. A The block needle was advanced from a caudal to cranial direction. B Ultrasonographic image of the T4 transverse process in the middle of the image. C The block needle was advanced in-plane until the needle tip contacted the T4 transverse process (TP). D Spread of local anesthetic was observed in the plane between the erector spinae muscle and the transverse process, and erector spinae muscle lifted during the block. T4TP, transverse process
