Brief Summary

The analgesic efficacy of different volumes in ESPB patients undergoing single-level lumbar spine fixation

Detailed Description

The erector spinae plane block (ESPB) its an interfacial plane block for an effective treatment for thoracic neuropathic pain. Currently, compared to the use of opioids, the ESPB has fewer side effects and is safe for patients of all ages having abdominal and thoracic operations .

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total morphine consumptionFirst 24 hours postoperatively

Patients were allowed to receive incremental doses of morphine 3mg intravenously if numerical rating scale pain score will be ≥ then the total amount of morphine will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Numerical rating scaleUp to 48 hours postoperatively

Postoperative pain using numerical rating scale (NRS) will be measured at post-anesthesia care unit, from 0 to 10, with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing maximum intolerable pain

Time to the first rescue analgesicUp to 24 hours postoperatively

If numerical rating scale \>4 was observed, rescue analgesia (morphine 3 mg IV) was administered

Postoperative complicationsUp to 24 hours postoperatively

postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), hypotension (mean arterial pressure \< 20% of baseline readings and was managed by ephedrine 5 mg IV and/or normal saline IVI), bradycardia (heart rate \< 60 beats/min and was managed by atropine 0.6 mg IV).

5-point scaleUp to 24 hours postoperative

The degree of patient satisfaction was assessed on a 5-point scale: (0= extremely dissatisfied, 1= unsatisfied, 2= neither satisfied nor unsatisfied, 3= satisfied), and 4= extremely satisfied).
