Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Active Comparator: Erector Spinae Plane Block

Patients will receive Erector spinae plane block.

Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane Block
Patients will be turned into the prone position. A high-frequency linear ultrasound probe will be placed in a longitudinal parasagittal orientation 2.5-3 cm lateral to the T8 spinous process. The erector spinae muscles will be identified superficial to the tip of the T8 transverse process. After local infiltration of the needle insertion site with 2-3 ml of 2% lidocaine, a 21G 10 cm needle will be inserted using an in-plane approach in a cranial to caudal direction to contact the T8 transverse process. The location of the needle tip will be confirmed by hydrodissection with 2 mL of lidocaine 2% and visualizing linear fluid spread lifting the erector spinae muscle off the bony shadow of the transverse process on ultrasonographic imaging. A volume of 20 mL of 0.25% Bupivacaine is injected will be injected at this point. The same procedure will be repeated for the opposite side.
Other Names:
  • ESP block
  • Active Comparator: Intrathecal morphine ITM

    Patients will receive Intrathecal morphine.

    Procedure: Intrathecal morphine
    Patients will be placed on their right side. An intrathecal injection of morphine 200 μg (0.2 mL of morphine sulfate 1 mg/mL) diluted in 1.8 mL normal saline will be administered at the L3-L4 or L4-L5 level with a 25 G Whitacre spinal needle.
    Other Names:
  • ITM
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Cumulative opioid consumption [24 hours postoperatively]

      Nalbuphine consumption in mg equivalent to morphine dose

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Nalbuphine consumption in mg [at 8, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively.]

      equivalent to morphine dose

    2. Analgesic drug consumption other than nalbuphine [at 8, 24, 48, and 72 hours postoperatively.]

      consumption in mg

    3. Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and when coughing [at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours postoperatively]

      NRS is an 11-point (0=no pain and 10=worst pain)

    4. Heart Rate [Intraoperatively]

      Heart Rate in beats /min

    5. Mean Arterial Pressure [Intraoperatively]

      Mean Arterial Pressure in mmHg

    6. Incidence of Postoperative nausea & vomiting (PONV) [24 hours postoperatively]

      Number of patients developing PONV
