Ultrasound Guided Sacral Erector Spina Plane Block as a Main Anesthetic Method

Completed

• Conditions: Anesthesia, Local

• Registration Number: NCT05674006
• Lead Sponsor: Samsun University

Brief Summary

The goal of this retrospective observational study is to demonstrate investigators' experience of Ultrasound guided Sacral Erector Spina Plane Block as an anesthetic technique in patients underwent sacral plastic and reconstructive surgeries.

The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are:

* block indication, level

* results, side effects and complications

Detailed Description

Erector Spina Plane Block is an interfascial plane block that is performed by injecting the local anesthetic solution between transverse process of the vertebra and erector spina muscle. It is found to be an inexpensive,easily applied, effective and safe technique for chronic pain.(1) Ultrasound guided Erector Spina Plane Block(ESP) is getting more and more widely used for analgesia and as an anesthetic technique.(2,3) Regional anesthesia techniques provide safer, more stable and advantageous anesthetic management, especially in high-risk patients. Ultrasound guided Sacral ESP is described by Tulgar et all.in 2019 and can be used either for analgesia or as an anesthetic technique. (4) In this retrospective study investigators planed to demonstrate one year of experience of this block for sacral plastic and reconstructive surgery. Demographic data of patients who underwent sacral surgery with sacral ESP block, indication of block, level of block, drug dose concentration, effect, side effect and results that were recorded will be analyzed.
