Ultrasound Guided Rhomboid Intercostal Plane Block Versus Thoracic Erector Spinae Plane Block in Upper Abdominal Surgery
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Rhomboid intercostal plane block: The patients in this group will receive ultrasound -guided rhomboid intercostal plane block after induction of general anesthesia. The rhomboid intercostal block will be performed at the T6 levels, bilaterally.
Erector spinae plane block: The patients in this group will receive ultrasound -guided Erector spinae plane block after induction of general anesthesia. Erector spinae plane block will be performed at the level of T9 bilaterally.
Control group: No block will be performed, and patient will receive general anesthesia (GA) only.
Study summary
The aim of the work is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided rhomboid intercostal plane block versus ultrasound guided thoracic erector spinae block in patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Total morphine consumption — 24 hours postoperatively
Rescue analgesia will be provided in the form of IV morphine 3 mg boluses if the patient indicates The visual analogue scale (VAS). ≥ 4 with maximum dose 20 mg for 24 hours. The total amount of morphine (mg) given will be recorded for the 3 groups.
