Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Control in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Surgery
Sponsor: Bangladesh Medical University
Summary
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block as an adjunct to general anesthesia for managing postoperative pain in patients undergoing lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery. The study will compare two groups: one receiving general anesthesia with ESP block (intervention group) and the other receiving general anesthesia alone (control group). The primary objective is to assess postoperative pain relief, opioid consumption, and hemodynamic stability. Secondary outcomes include adverse events and recovery quality. This trial will provide valuable insights into the efficacy of ESP block in improving recovery outcomes and reducing opioid use in spine surgery patients.

Interventions
Control Group: General Anesthesia Without Erector Spinae Plane Block
Intervention Type: Drug - General Anesthesia Description: Patients will receive general anesthesia using standard anesthetic agents (e.g., propofol, fentanyl, and isoflurane) without the addition of a regional block. No erector spinae plane (ESP) block will be performed.
Intervention Group: General Anesthesia With Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block
Description: Patients will receive general anesthesia in combination with an ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block. The ESP block will be performed at the L3-L5 vertebral level using a 22-gauge needle, with 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine and 5 mg dexamethasone administered bilaterally under sterile conditions.
