No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of this study is to figure out the efficacy of dexamethasone addition to bupivacaine versus bupivacaine alone in bilateral erector spinae plane block on postoperative analgesia after pediatric cardiac surgeries

Conditions

  • Pediatric Cardiac Surgery

Interventions

PROCEDURE

bilateral erector spinae plane block in pediatric cardiac surgeries

The ESPB will be performed after induction of anesthesia, endotracheal tube insertion and before the start of operation, with the child in a right lateral decubitus position under aseptic precautions. A high frequency linear ultrasound transducer will be placed over the T4 transverse process lateral to the spinous process. After identifying the muscles above the hyperechoic transverse process image, a 5-cm 22 gauge needle will be inserted in-plane in a cephalo-caudad direction. The endpoint is defined as the needle pointing to the tip of transverse process piercing the erector spinae muscle. The local anesthetic will be deposited at this position, After careful negative aspiration, local anesthetic, according to study groups , The process will be repeated on thecontralateral side
