No results posted yet for this study

Summary

aim of this study is to assess and compare between the efficacy of the new U/S guided erector spinae plane block (ESP) and the conventional methods of systemic analgesics in adult patients scheduled for elective thoracotomy surgery.

Conditions

  • Postoperative Pain

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Erector Spinae Plane Block

The patient will be placed in a sitting position and the ultrasound probe will be placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral to the T5 spinous process. Three muscles were identified superficial to the hyperechoic transverse process shadow as follows: trapezius, rhomboid major, and erector spinae . the needle will be inserted in a cephalad-to-caudad direction until the tip lay deep to erector spinae muscles, as evidenced by visible linear spread of fluid beneath muscle upon injection . A total of 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be injected here.
