Evaluation of Ultrasound-guided Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Laparoscopic Sleeve Gastrectomy: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Erector spinae block for Pain, Postoperative. Completed, enrolled 50 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study will help us in understanding the role of erector spinae block (ESPB) for postoperative pain control in patients undergoing upper GI laparoscopy surgeries. The surgeries included in this group include laparoscopic cholecystectomy, laparoscopic gastrectomy, laparoscopic umblical or epigastric hernia repair. Patients aged between 18 and 65 years, scheduled to undergo any upper GI laparoscopy surgeries with an ASA score of 1 or 2 will be included in the study. This is a prospective randomised controlled trial which will compare two groups receiving either erector spinae block or no block for postoperative pain control after upper GI laparoscopy surgeries
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) - first recently described for the treatment of thoracic neuropathic pain, is a peri-paravertebral regional anesthesia technique that has since been reported as an effective technique for prevention of postoperative pain in various surgeries (10-12). In ESPB, local anesthetic is reported to be administered in to the interfascial plane between the transverse process of the vertebra and the erector spinae muscles, spreading to multiple paravertebral spaces.
