Overview

The article describes the embryonal and anatomical consequences of the development of the torso fascial system in relation to the possibilities of regional anesthesia of the chest. Using literary sources, own ultrasound documentation and image documentation from the computer tomography, author try to clarify the mechanism and localization of the action of local anesthetics in new fascial blockades in the chest wall, based on anatomical and physical principles.

Keywords:

ultrasound – fascia plane – regional anesthesia
