18m
The video was created by Dr. Vicente Roques, an anesthesiologist at el Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca in Murcia, Spain, with contributions from Dr. Mauricio Forero and Dr. Ki Jinn Chin. They summarize the current (2017) understanding of the ESP block including anatomy, possible mechanisms, technique, and clinical pearls.
