NCT04599842

Brief Summary

Background: Our hypothesis was that bilateral ESP block applied from the transverse process of T9 in women who underwent elective cesarean section with pfannenstiel incision under spinal anesthesia could provide effective postoperative analgesia.The primary outcome in this study was total opioid consumption for 24 hours. Material and Method: This randomized prospective study was carried out on 50 pregnant women who was scheduled for elective cesarean delivery via a Pfannenstiel incision with spinal anesthesia.Patients were randomly allocated in to two equal groups.Group SA was categorized as the group which spinal anaesthesia alone (SA) was performed, Group SA+ESP was categorized as group which SA+ESP block was performed. All groups received 7 mg isobaric bupivacaine +15 µg fentanyl intrathecally through spinal anesthesia. The SA+ESP group, ESP block was performed at the ninth thoracic transverse process with 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine + 2 mg dexamethasone immediately after the operation. Total fentanyl consumption in 24 hrs, visual analogue scale (VAS) score for pain, time to the first analgesic request were evaluated postoperatively.
