Weight‐Based Volume of Injection Influences Cranial to Caudal Spread of Local Anesthetic Solution in Ultrasound‐Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane Blocks in Canine Cadavers

Abstract

In Beagle cadavers, the volume of injected local anesthetic solution significantly affects cranial to caudal spread within the TAP during ultrasound-guided TAP blocks. The volume of local anesthetic injected could potentially be used to augment the spread of analgesic coverage for a given surgical procedure in dogs.
