Two canine cadavers were used to assess the feasibility of the transverse approach for the TTP (t-TTP) under ultrasound guidance to inject a solution at the third and sixth intercostal spaces. Eight cadavers were used to compare the spread and number of intercostal nerves that were stained when a low volume (LV) 0.5 mL kg−1 or a high volume (HV) 1 mL kg−1 of a dye-lidocaine solution was injected into the same hemithorax, injecting the volume equally at these intercostal spaces using the transverse approach. Fisher’s exact test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used to contrast the spread of the different volume solutions. The injectate spread along the TTP after all injections, dying a median number (range) of 3 (2–5) and 6 (5–6) nerves with LV and HV, respectively (p = 0.011). The two-point injection of HV, using the t-TTP approach, is a feasible technique that provides a consistent staining from T2 to T7 intercostal nerves. The injection of HV instead of LV increases the spread and enhances the number of stained intercostal nerves. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 3.0 2022 VETERINARY SCIENCES 13 / 144 = 0.09 2022 Q1 T1 AGRICULTURE, DAIRY & ANIMAL SCIENCE 12 / 62 = 0.194 2022 Q1 T1 0.684 2022 Veterinary (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Animal Science and Zoology 2022 Q1 4.2 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Bonastre, Cristina Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-6178-9891 González-Marrón, Adrián Gámez Maidanskaia, Ekaterina Laborda, Alicia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-0296-1617 1009 617 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
