Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prevalence of hip replacement surgery is increasing nowadays. Patients are usually older age and suffer from comorbidities may be an anesthetic and analgesic challenge. Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a newly described technique that is has been demonstrated in previous studies for chronic and acute pain treatment. The exact volume and concentration of local anesthetic (LA) to be used in ESPB is not well established.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aim of the work is to compare the analgesic effects of three different concentrations of the same volume of local anesthetics; 30 ml of 0.50% vs 0.375% vs 0.25% bupivacaine in patients undergoing hip surgeries.

Prospective randomized double blinded study that will be conducted in at Kasr El-Ainy hospital orthopedic surgical theater.

patients, undergoing hip surgeries will be randomly allocated into three equal groups, each (n=44), using computerized generated random tables

1. Group F: 44 patients will receive single shot erector spinae block at the level of L4 with 30 ml 0.50% bupivacaine.
2. Group M: 44 patients will receive single shot erector spinae block at the level of L4 with 30 ml 0.375% bupivacaine.
3. Group H: 44 patients will receive single shot of erector spinae block at the level of L4with 30ml 0.25% bupivacaine .

A (0.5%) group

patients will receive a single shot erector spinae block with 30 ml 0.5% bupivacaine followed by general anesthesia

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Erector spinae plane block Technique

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

The patient will be placed in Lateral Decubitus with a surgical side upwards. A curvilinear array ultrasound probe will be placed in a transverse orientation at L4 level to identify the tip of the L4 transverse process. The tip of the transverse process will be centered on the ultrasound screen and the probe will be then rotated into a longitudinal orientation 2-3 cm lateral to vertebral column. The lumbar skin region will be sterilized, local infiltration of the skin and subcutaneous tissue will be applied by 2-3ml of lidocaine 2%. Then, using ultrasound guidance, A 38-mm 22-gauge (22-G, 50-mm 'Stimuplex A'; BBraun, Melsung, Germany) regional block needle will be advanced in plane to the ultrasound beam in a cranial-to-caudal direction until contact will made with the L4 transverse process. Local anesthetic solution will be injected and its type will be selected according to the studied group and patients were placed in a supine position and general anesthesia will be started.

General anesthesia

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Induction of general anaesthesia will be performed using a regimen of IV 2 μg/kg fentanyl and propofol IV 2 mg /kg. Tracheal intubation will be facilitated using 0.5 mg/kg IV of rocuronium.

Anaesthesia will be maintained with inhaled sevoflurane 1-1.5% in oxygen enriched air (FiO2=0.5). Maintenance doses of rocuronium o.1 m\\kg will be provided every 30 minutes.

Rescue analgesia of fentanyl 1 μg/kg will be given if the mean arterial blood pressure or heart rate rises above 20% of baseline levels.

At the end of surgery, residual neuromuscular blockade will be reversed using neostigmine (0.05 mg/kg) and atropine (0.02 mg/kg), and will extubation be performed after complete recovery of the airway reflexes.

Bupivacaine 0.5%

Local anesthetic solution will be injected and its type will be selected according to the studied group and patients were placed in a supine position and general anesthesia will be started.
