Summary

This prospective single-blind randomized controlled study on 50 patients between 18 and 65 years, both sexes, with ASA I-II and undergoing elective lumbar spine surgical procedures. They were equally divided into two groups: Group Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) (Study): (number = 25) received Erector Spinae Plane Block (20 ml bupivacaine 0.25%) combined with general anesthesia. Group General Anesthesia (GA) (Control): (number = 25) received conventional general anesthesia.

Conditions

  • Spine Fusion
  • Spine Metastases
  • Postoperative Pain

Erector Spinae Plane Block using 0.25 % bupivacaine

After induction of anesthesia and prone positioning and before surgery, Erector Spinae Plane Block was performed bilaterally using a low-frequency curved ultrasound transducer placed in a longitudinal orientation 3 cm lateral to the spinous process one vertebral level above a predetermined marked surgical incision. An 8-cm 22-gauge block needle was inserted in a cephalad to caudad direction until the tip lay in the interfascial plane below the erector spinae muscle, the block was performed by injection of 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine. Fentanyl 1 µg/kg as a rescue analgesia was given based on hemodynamic parameters.
