Comparison Between Ultrasound Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block and Dexmedotomidine in Lumber Spine Surgeries.

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Ultrasound erector spinae plane block: Patients will be subdivided randomly into two groups (15 patients each) using computer generated random numbers with closed envelopes: Group U (15 patients):will receive bilateral US guided single shot ESPB, 30 ml of bupivacaine 0.25% on each side after induction of anesthesia.

dexamedotomidine infusion after induction of anesthesia: Patients will be subdivided randomly into two groups (15 patients each) using computer generated random numbers with closed envelopes: Group D (15 patients):will receive the study drug infusion (Dexmedetomidine) after induction of anesthesia.

Study summary

Ultrasound (US) guided Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as a new trunchal fascial plane block technique was proposed in 2016. US guided ESPB has aroused the interest of many nerve block experts. The goal of this study is to evaluate the effect of US guided ESPB versus (VS) intravenous Dexmedotomidine on postoperative analgesia and intra operative hemodynamic parameters in lumbar spine surgeries.

The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of ESPB to intravenous Dexmedetomidine in patients who are undergoing elective lumber spine surgeries regarding the effect on postoperative analgesia and intra operative hemodynamic parameters.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)
