NCT04374396

Brief Summary

This prospective randomized controlled double-blind study will be carried out to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block on the postoperative analgesia in children after hip surgeries, the total morphine consumption in the first postoperative day will be the primary outcome and the time to first request for rescue analgesia and postoperative pain score will be the secondary outcome. The study will be carried out on pediatric patients undergoing hip surgery where they will receive real or sham ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block before the onset of the surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Total morphine consumption in the first postoperative day

    Calculation of the total dose of morphine consumed in the first day after surgery

    The first 24 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • The time to first request for rescue analgesia

    The first 24 hours after surgery

  • Postoperative pain score

    every 2 hours in the first 8 hours then every 4 hours till 24 hours

Study Arms (2)

Group 1

SHAM COMPARATOR

patients in this group will receive sham ipsilateral ultrasound-guided single shot erector spinae block at L2 after induction of anaesthesia and before the start of surgery without injection of local anesthetics

Radiation: Sham ultrasound-guided single shot erector spinae plane block (ESP B)

Group 2

EXPERIMENTAL

patients in this group will receive real ipsilateral ultrasound-guided single shot erector spinae block at L2 after induction of anaesthesia and before the start of surgery with injection of 0.3 ml/kg of 0.25% of plain bupivacaine.

Procedure: Real ultrasound-guided single shot erector spinae plane block (ESP B)

Interventions

ESP block will be performed with the patient lying in the lateral position and the surgical side at the top. After skin disinfection, sterile draping will be placed, and ultrasound probe will be sheathed. The level of the block will be at the transverse process of L2, using a 9-12 MHz linear probe and placed in a parasagittal plane 1 cm from the posterior midline. The deep plane to the erector spinae muscle (ESM) will be identified and a 22 Gauge 50 mm insulated needle will be inserted craniocaudally in plane between the transverse process and the fascia of the ESM. After negative aspiration, 0.3 mL/kg- of bupivacaine 0.25% will be injected confirming correct position by visualizing the solution lifting the ESM off the transverse process .Spread of LA between the L1 and L4 transverse processes will be thereafter visually tracked with the transducer. In the control group, no local anesthetics will be injected.

Group 2

EESP block will be performed with the patient lying in the lateral position and the surgical side at the top. After skin disinfection, sterile draping will be placed, and ultrasound probe will be sheathed. The level of the block will be at the transverse process of L2, using a 9-12 MHz linear probe and placed in a parasagittal plane 1 cm from the posterior midline. The deep plane to the erector spinae muscle (ESM) will be identified and a 22 Gauge 50 mm insulated needle will be inserted craniocaudally in plane between the transverse process and the fascia of the ESM. No local anesthetics will be injected
