Purpose

This study aims to assess the efficacy of erector spinae plane block (erector spinae plane block) for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (total hip arthroplasty) under spinal anesthesia.

Methods

In this randomized-controlled trial, a total of 30 patients (American Society of Anesthesiologists Class I-III, 20 to 65 years) who underwent elective unilateral total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia were included between January 2023 and December 2023.

n = 30 patients

Results

erector spinae block roughly doubled pain relief duration versus spinal anesthesia alone

10.76h

Group E

4.18h

Group C

More results

Of a total of 30 patients included in the study, 22 were male and 8 were female with a mean age of 36.86 ± 13.24 (range, 18 to 65) years.

The Visual Analog Scale scores were lower in group E at 0.5 h (p = 0.009), 2 h (p < 0.001), 4 h (p < 0.001), 6 h (p < 0.001), and 12 h (p = 0.02).

More results

Additional analgesic requirement during the first 24 h was higher in Group C.

Surgeon and patient satisfaction scores significantly improved in Group E.

Conclusion · 1 of 2

Lumbar erector spinae plane block with 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine significantly prolongs postoperative analgesia and reduces pain scores and analgesic consumption in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia.

Conclusion · 2 of 2

Based on these findings, lumbar erector spinae plane block may provide effective and safe adjunctive analgesia in this patient population.
