Summary

Upper abdominal incisions, such as the oblique subcostal laparotomy, can cause severe pain and can lead to significant respiratory impairment.

Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is the deposition of local anaesthetic (LA) in the interfascial plane at the paraspinal region. It provides effective visceral and somatic analgesia.

External oblique intercostal plane (EOIP) block is a newly described block at which local anaesthetic (LA) is deposited in the interfascial plane deep to external oblique muscle at the sixth intercostal space. It provides blockade of the thoracoabdominal nerves at the level of T6 to T10.

In this study, the investigators compare between ultrasound (US) guided external oblique intercostal plane block and erector spinae plane block, in providing postoperative analgesia for upper abdominal surgeries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

external oblique intercostal plane block

o EOIP Group (ŋ=25): Patients will receive ultrasound guided External oblique intercostal plane block with 20 ml of LA mixture (10 mL of bupivacaine 0.5%, 5 mL of lidocaine 2% and 5 mL of normal saline to make a total volume of 20 ml.) at the end of procedure, unilaterally or bilaterally according to the surgery.

PROCEDURE

erector spinae plane block

o ESP Group (ŋ=25): Patients will receive ultrasound guided Erector spinae plane block with 20 ml of LA mixture (10 mL of bupivacaine 0.5%, 5 mL of lidocaine 2% and 5 mL of normal saline to make a total volume of 20 ml.) at the end of procedure, unilaterally or bilaterally according to the surgery.
