Brief Summary

Opioid-free intraoperative protocols have been successfully used in specific surgical populations with equal or superior results to classic general anesthetic approaches. In instances where opioid-free anesthesia may not be entirely feasible, there exists a continually growing body of evidence that the modern anesthesiologist has a potent pharmacologic and regional anesthetic arsenal that can reduce the amount of opioids required to effectively treat pain. Retrolaminar block is considered a new, easy and simple technique with decreasing incidence of complications such as hypotension, pleural and nerve injury. Its efficacy had been investigated in trauma patients

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The recovery time

    The recovery time (time from discontinuation of isoflurane to first response to verbal command) will be recorded, then the patient will be transferred to the post anesthesia care unite (PACU) on standard monitors.

    up to 1 hour postoperative

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • pain intensity

    up to 24 hours postoperative

Study Arms (2)

Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive standard analgesia (paracetamol 15mg/kg plus fentanyl 1ug/kg) iv

Procedure: Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl)

Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasone

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients will receive intraopertative retrolaminar block: 15 ml of bupivacaine 0. 25 % plus 2ml magnesium sulfate 10% (200mg) plus 2ml (8mg) dexamethasone on each side by slipping the needle of injection on the bone of spinous process and lamina.

Procedure: Retrolaminar block with bupivacaine + magnesium sulfate + dexamethasone

Interventions

Patients will receive standard analgesia (paracetamol 15mg/kg plus fentanyl 1ug/kg) iv

Standard analgesia (paracetamol +fentanyl)
