Intervention  EVALUATION OF LANDMARK GUIDED, C-ARM GUIDED AND USG GUIDED ERECTOR SPINAE BLOCK IN TERMS OF PERIOPERATIVE ANALGESIA,HEMODYNAMICS AND SURGEON’S SATISFACTION FOLLOWING LUMBER SPINE FIXATION SURGERY  After getting clearance from the said ethics committee this study will be conducted in the neurosurgery operation theatre of R.G Kar Medical College & Hospital in the period from 2025 to 2026. After careful consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria the patients posted for lumbar spine fixation surgery will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be divided into three equal groups [landmark guided erector spinae block vs C-ARM guided erector spinae block vs USG guided erector spinae block] by computer-generated randomization method. Every group will receive bilateral erector spinae block using 0.25 % Bupivacaine followed by general anaesthesia. Duration of analgesia in terms of VAS , total analgesic requirement in first 24 hours ,Intraoperative surgeons’ satisfaction in terms 0f 5-point Likert scale, intraoperative blood loss using Boezzarts scale, hemodynamic changes by measuring mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate and other side effects like post operative nausea , vomiting , patients’ discomfort will be assessed and compared between these three groups. Landmark guided, C -arm guided and USG guided technique will take time of approximately 10 minutes,20 minutes and 15 minutes respectively

Brief Summary  

After getting clearance from the said ethics committee this study will be conducted in the neurosurgery operation theatre of R.G Kar Medical College & Hospital  in the period from 2022 to 2023. After careful consideration of inclusion and exclusion criteria the patients posted for lumbar spine fixation surgery will be enrolled in the study. Patients will be divided into three equal groups [landmark guided erector spinae block vs C-ARM guided erector spinae block vs USG guided erector spinae block] by computer-generated randomization method. Every group will receive bilateral erector spinae block using  0.25 %  Bupivacaine followed by general anaesthesia. Duration of analgesia  in terms of VAS , total analgesic requirement in  first 24 hours ,Intraoperative surgeons’ satisfaction in terms 0f 5-point Likert scale, intraoperative blood loss using Boezzart’s scale,  hemodynamic changes  by measuring mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse rate  and other side effects like  post operative nausea , vomiting , patients’ discomfort  will  be assessed and compared between these three groups.
