Erector Spinae Plane Block Efficacy Versus Intravenous Morphine for Postoperative Pain Control Following Vertebral Fixation Surgery Via Posterior Approach: a Randomized Controlled Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Erector Spinae plane Block and Patient controlled analgesia with intravenous morphine for Vertebral Subluxation and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The study aims to shed light about the potential role of Erector Spinae Block in the management of postoperative pain following vertebral fixation surgery via posterior approach. Patients will be randomized, the block will be performed before inducing general anesthesia, intraoperative management will be uniformed, while postoperative analgesia will compare cases (patients who received the block) versus controls (usual care with endovenous morphine infusion only).
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Ultrasound-guided interfascial technique, aiming to block the anterior and posterior branches of the spinal nerves for multi-dermatomal analgesia. Injection of local anesthetic in the plane deep to the erector spinae muscles and superficial to the transverse processes, to achieve a craniocaudal distribution along several vertebral levels.
Patient-controlled intermittent boluses of morphine 1 mg (maximum once every 15 minutes).
