| Abstract | ||
| Introduction: The emerging role of Bilateral Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Block as a novel and promising technique for Effective postoperative pain management needs to be evaluated after lumbar spine surgery. Materials and Methods: Prospective, randomized single blinded study. ASA I and II patients in age group of 18-65 years posted for lumbar spine surgery. Patients were randomised in two groups of 30 each. Group A received ultra sound guided ESP block with 0.2% ropivacaine postoperatively before extubation. Group B did not receive block and analgesic was given once VAS >4. Postoperative vital parameters and VAS scores were assessed at regular intervals up to 24 hours. Results: In the ESPB group, prolonged duration of analgesia (10.01±1.89 hours VS 2.11±0.82 hours) was noted when compared with non-ESPB group (p value <0.05). The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores in ESPB group were significantly lower than non-ESPB group (p value <0.05). Hemodynamic parameters were significantly stable in ESPB group than non ESPB group (p<0.05). Conclusion: To conclude, bilateral US-guided ESP block is an effective way of providing prolonged postoperative analgesia after lumbar spine surgery with reduced requirement of rescue analgesics in the first 24 hours without any complications. | ||
