| Abstract | ||||
| Patients having open kidney procedures might benefit greatly from erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as a postoperative treatment. Our objective was to assess the effects of the patient's posture and the kind of US probe utilized in the ESPB. Methods: This retrospective study involved 60 individuals who had renal exploratory procedures. Both lateral and supine positions were used for the ESPB procedures. Since US was used for ESPB, either a linear or curved prob was used. Results: Regarding the block's time and simplicity of execution, there were notable variations across the four groups. There were only two recorded failures in sitting postures, compared to four in lateral positions. In addition, only six of the 13 individuals complained of pain at the injection site when they were seated. Conclusion: We recommend using the sitting position in ESPB with the straight US prob, and if the lateral position has been chosen, curved probe is recommended | ||||
