Brief Summary  

      Pain is the dominating complaint and the primary reason for prolonged convalescence after laparoscopic cholecystectomy1It has been hypothesized that intense acute pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy may predict development of chronic pain (e.g.  Post laparoscopic cholecystectomy syndrome)2. Erector spinae plane block is a novel thoracic myofascial plane block that was reported first in 2016.3 It is a simpler and safer alternative to thoracic paravertebral and epidural blockade because the sonographic target is easily visualized and the site of injection is distant to the neuraxis and any major vascular structures and provides more extensive cranio-caudal spread with a single injection without major complications4


      Objective : To study and compare the analgesic efficacy of single shot bilateral erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.


      DESIGN : Double blind , prospective, randomized controlled study    


      Methodology : A blinded anaesthetist 1 will explain about ESP block to patient and takes I/W consent in preoperative period and he will also collect the data later on.

      On day of surgery anaesthetist 2 will prepare 2 syringes of 20ml 0.375% ropivacaine or normal saline as per computer generated random table and assign a number and accordingly group (1/2) to the patient.       

      A blinded anaesthetist 3 will give bilateral ESP block with 20 ml of drug each side under USG guidance after induction of anaesthesia.

      Anaesthetist 1 will manage case as per protocol with 2mcg/kg fentanyl at induction, 1mcg/kg at port insertion.

      Inj. Paracetamol 1gm iv pre-emptively

      Fentanyl repeated after 1 hour henceforth 1mcg/kg if needed

      Inj. Paracetamol 1 gm iv will be continued 8th hourly.

      Rescue analgesic in postoperative period (when the VAS > 4) : Inj. Diclofenac 75mg iv
