Brief Summary:
Major spinal surgery causes greater pain in the postoperative 24 hours. Patients with severe pain may have prolonged hospital stays and delay in mobilization. In addition, chronic pain may be seen in these patients due to ineffectively managed acute postoperative pain. Therefore, optimizing acute postoperative analgesia is a priority in patients undergoing major spinal surgery.
Recently, ultrasound-guided interfascial plane blocks such as thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIPB)and the erector spinae plane block (ESPB) have been described in spinal surgery. Both blocks clinically seem to be safe and easily performed. The aims of this study are to compare the quality of recovery scores, overall morbidity and postoperative analgesia after major spinal surgery in patients receiving either TLIPB or ESPB.
Detailed Description:
Thoracolumbar interfascial plane block (TLIPB)and erector spinae plane block (ESPB) and have been shown to provide effective analgesia after spinal surgery. ESPB targets ventral and dorsal rami of the spinal nerve and also spreads over the paravertebral and epidural space. However, TLIPB targets only dorsal rami of the spinal nerve and spare ventral rami which may provide early ambulation. In addition, depositing local anesthetic in the fascial planes may prevent intraoperative washout. It may translate to an increase in the quality of analgesia. On the other hand, pain is an incomplete measure of postoperative recovery. No study to date has compared these two blocks in terms of the quality of recovery after major spinal surgery. This study will test the hypothesis that patients receiving TLIPB have higher QoR-40 scores in comparison with patients receiving ESPB.
