Aim: To evaluate pain and length of stay outcomes in six patients who received an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) in the emergency department (ED) for low back pain. Materials & methods: A case series of six patients who received unilateral or bilateral ESPB after presenting to the ED for acute atraumatic axial low back pain. Results: The average visual analog scale pain score reduction was 81.8%, and length of stay after ESPB was 73.5 min. No postprocedure opiates in the ED or after discharge were required. Conclusion: The ESPB is a rapid, safe and opiate-sparing option for the treatment of acute low back pain.
