Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
  • Aim of the study is to know efficacy of ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block for post-operative pain relief in hip joint and proximal femur surgeries.
  • Patients suitable for study as per inclusion criteria, admitted in SSG Hospital will be selected.
  • Demographic details, History, Investigations will be assessed and general examination, systemic examination will be done
  • Patients will be randomly divided into two groups after surgery being done under spinal anaesthesia. 3 ml of Hyperbaric bupivacaine 0.5% will be given in spinal anaesthesia.
  • Case group will be given ultrasound guided lumbar erector spinae plane block 4-6 cm lateral to spinous process and superficial to transverse process of L4 vertebra in the erector spinae plane. Total 30 cc local anaesthetic drug- 0.25% Bupivacaine will be injected using convex ultrasound transducer probe using out plane approach.
  • Control group will be given injection tramadol 1.5 mg/kg intravenously in 100 ml Normal saline as infusion.
  • Patients will be monitored for duration of analgesia using VAS score, Rescue analgesics required in 24 hours, Vital parameters and complications associated with block.
  • VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) score will be assessed every 1 hourly for first 6 hours and every 6 hourly for next 24 hours.
  • Rescue analgesia will be given in the form of Injection Paracetamol 15 mg/kg intravenously at VAS score>4.
