Summary

The inter-semispinal plane (ISP) block is a novel ultrasound-guided technique that involves local anesthetic injection into the fascial plane between the semispinalis cervicis and semispinalis capitis muscles with subsequent block of the dorsal rami of the cervical spinal nerves and hence can get adequate postoperative analgesia.

The authors hypothesized that ISP block can reduce the postoperative analgesic consumption in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgeries.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ISP block in patients undergoing posterior cervical spine surgery.

Conditions

  • Post Operative Pain
  • Cervical Spine Instability

Interventions

DRUG

Bupivacaine Hydrochloride

10 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine on each side of cervical region at C5

DRUG

Lidocaine Hydrochloride

10ml xylocaine on each side of cervical region at C5

DEVICE

Ultrasound

The same anesthesiologist who is experienced in US guided regional anesthesia will perform the block.The five-layered posterior cervical muscles were identified at the level of C5 with a 6-15-MHz linear probe oriented in the transverse plane (SonoSite Edge, Bothell, Washington). The fifth cervical spine was counted from the C7 spinous process with the probe sliding cranially.

DEVICE

Needle

the needle (22- G, 50-mm block needle (Visioplex, Vygon) was introduced in-plane through the skin and advanced into the fascial plane between the semispinalis cervicis and semispinalis capitis muscles. After negative aspiration for blood, 20 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% was injected5.
