The Effects of ESP Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block on Postoperative Opioid Consumption and Quality of Recovery

Erector Spinae Area (ESP) Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block(MTP) have recently been described for the treatment of pain after lumbar spinal surgery. Although these blocks have been shown to be effective in the treatment of pain after lumbar spinal surgery when compared with postoperative pain, they have not been compared in terms of the quality of recovery and opioid consumption after lumbar spinal surgery.

The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of Erector Spinae Area (ESP) Block and Mid-Transverse Process to Pleura Block(MTP) on quality of recovery and opioid consumption in patients scheduled for lumbar spinal surgery. The effects of the 2 blocks on postoperative pain will also be compared and recorded.

Treatment and study plan

Numeretic rating scale (NRS)

Diagnostic Test

NRS is a pain intensity determination system based on the person being asked to describe their pain on a scale of 0 (none), 10 (unbearable pain) and a point between.

Quality of Results (QoR-40)

Diagnostic Test

Several rating scales have been developed to measure quality of recovery after surgery and anaesthesia, but the most extensively used is the QoR-40, a 40-item questionnaire that provides a global score and subscores across five dimensions: patient support, comfort, emotions, physical independence, and pain.

Opioid consuption

Other

Opioid consuption will be recorded from PCA

Primary outcomes

  1. postoperative opioid consumption

    Time frame: PCA results will be recorded at the 1st, 6th, 12th, 24th hours postoperatively.

    The patient will be administered tramadol PCA every eight hours and recorded.

Secondary outcomes

  1. quality of recovery

    Time frame: 24 hours

    The quality of recovery (QoR-40) of patients who underwent both ESP block and MTP block at the 24th hour postoperatively will be evaluated with a scoring system.
