Arms & Interventions

erector spinae group

Active Comparator

Patients will receive erector spinae block

Intervention: Diaphragmatic ultrasound (Device)

Control group

Placebo Comparator

Patients will receive bilateral sham ultrasound-guided ESPB

Intervention: Diaphragmatic ultrasound (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Incidence of diaphragmatic dysfunction in both groups

Time Frame: baseline and 2 hours after surgery

postoperative diaphragmatic excursion 10 mm at 2 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes

  • Forced expiratory volume at one second(at baseline, 2 and 24 hours postoperatively)
  • numeric rating scale(at 24 hours after surgery)
  • Forced vital capacity (in Liter)(at baseline, 2 hours, and 24 hours after surgery)
  • Peak expiratory flow rate (Liter/sec)(baseline, 2 hours, and 24 hours)
