Post operative analgesic consumption with or without sono-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block in patients undergoing abdominal surgery: A randomised, controlled, interventional study.

Phase 1/2

Not yet recruiting

Registration Number: CTRI/2021/02/030907

Lead Sponsor: Dept of Anaesthesiology SMS Medical College and Attached Group of Hospitals

Brief Summary: Regional anaesthesia is highly effective bothfor the surgical procedure and postoperative pain management. Abdominal surgeries can lead to significantpostoperative pain. In these patients, different regional anesthesiatechniques play an important role in multimodal analgesia plans. Non-opioidanalgesia techniques are especially important in aging populations whencomorbidities are considered. Erector Spinae Plane block (ESPB), firstdescribed by Forero et al for analgesia in thoracic neuropathic pain hasalso been reported for the management of other causes of acute andpostoperative pain. In this study, we aim to determine thepostoperative analgesic effect of USG guided Thoracic ESPB (T-ESPB) in patientsundergoing abdominal surgery.
