Study Overview

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the analgesic effect of retro superior costotransverse ligament space block vs erector spinae plane block to Achieve high-quality perioperative opioid-sparing effect and postoperative analgesia after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with optimum hemodynamic stability and high patient and surgeon satisfaction

Detailed Description

This study aims to compare between retro superior costotransverse ligament space block vs erector spinae plane block

  • To compare the analgesic outcomes (time to first analgesic request, total amount of analgesic consumption and pain scores by NRS)
  • To assess the block performance time required to perform each technique .
  • To compare intraoperative parameters (hemodynamics and intraoperative fentanyl consumption)
  • To assess patient, surgeon satisfaction and complications of the block.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The time to first call to rescue analgesia

Time Frame: 24 hours

The time to first call to rescue analgesia( the interval between the block injection till the NRS more than or equal 4) (naluphine) will be recorded

Secondary Outcomes

  • To assess block characteristics (block performance time)(1 hour)
  • Total intraoperative fentanyl consumption(duration of surgery (up to 2 hours))
  • Pain intensity by Numerical Rating Scale(30 minutes after arrival to post anesthesia care unit , 2hours, 4hours, 6hours, 8hours, 12hours, 18 hours and 24hours postoperative)
  • total amount of rescue analgesia(24 hours)
  • Intraoperative hemodynamics (Heart Rate and Mean Arterial Pressure)(every 5 minutes in the first 30 minutes then every 10 minutes till the end of surgery)
  • Patient's satisfaction(24 hours)
  • complication of the block(24 hours)
