Official title
Comparison of the Effects of Erector Spinae Area (ESP) Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block(MTP) on Postoperative Opioid Consumption and Quality of Recovery in Lumbar Spinal Surgery
Overview
Erector Spinae Area (ESP) Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block(MTP) have recently been described for the treatment of pain after lumbar spinal surgery. Although these blocks have been shown to be effective in the treatment of pain after lumbar spinal surgery when compared with postoperative pain, they have not been compared in terms of the quality of recovery and opioid consumption after lumbar spinal surgery. The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of Erector Spinae Area (ESP) Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block(MTP) on quality of recovery and opioid consumption in patients scheduled for lumbar spinal surgery. The effects of the 2 blocks on postoperative pain will also be compared and recorded.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Numeretic rating scale (NRS)
NRS is a pain intensity determination system based on the person being asked to describe their pain on a scale of 0 (none), 10 (unbearable pain) and a point between. - Diagnostic test Quality of Results (QoR-40)
Several rating scales have been developed to measure quality of recovery after surgery and anaesthesia, but the most extensively used is the QoR-40, a 40-item questionnaire that provides a global score and subscores across five dimensions: patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence, and pain. - Other Opioid consuption
Opioid consuption will be recorded from PCA
Primary outcome measures
- postoperative opioid consumption [Time frame: PCA results will be recorded at the 1st, 6th, 12th, 24th hours postoperatively.]
Secondary outcome measures (1)
- quality of recovery [Time frame: 24 hours]
