Brief Summary   Post operative pain management in spine surgeries is one of the main concerns because of its potential physiological adverse effects. In the era of Enhanced recovery after surgery,  regional anesthesia is an effective method . The effectiveness of Erector spinae block has been demonstrated in various surgeries .Ketamine is known to prolong the duration of analgesia in peripheral nerve block without increasing ketamine related adverse effects. Ketamine was used at different doses in various studies but the effects were not as expected. At higher doses perineurally ketamine failed to produce significant analgesia. Therefore the optimal dosage of ketamine is yet to be determined. We designed a double blinded dose finding study to compare the analgesic efficacy of ketamine at three different doses in Erector spinae block when used with ropivacaine in patients planned for lumbar spinal surgeries .
