Overview
Brief Summary
This is a single arm exploratory study to study efficacy of lumbosacral erector spinae plane block for labour analgesia. After taking informed written consent, patient will be shifted in OT and placed in left lateral position. Under USG guidance, lumbosacral ESP block will be given( 80 ml 0.125 percent Bupivacaine)with Dexamethasone 8mg and catheter will be placed so that tip lies at S2-S4 level. We will assess pain score as primary objective using Numerical Rating Scale at every 30 min and then every 1hour till 6 hour post delivery. We will assess Heart Rate, Non Invasive Blood Pressure at every 30 min and then every 1 hour till 6 hour post delivery. Motor blockage will be assessed using Modified Bromage score every 15 min during first hour then every 1 hour till 6 hour post delivery. .Outcome of labour will be noted and neonate APGAR score at 1 and 5 min will be seen. If NRS is more than 4, rescue analgesia( 20 ml 0.125 percent Bupivacaine) and inj. Tramadol will be given.
