Ultrasound image of a T2 Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Block. The three muscle layers TM, RMM, and ESM can be seen overlying the T2 TP. LA spread is seen in between the ESM and T2 TP. Abbreviations: ESM, erector spinae muscle; LA, local anesthetic; RMM, rhomboid major muscle; TM, trapezius muscle; TP, transverse process.
