ESP Block vs Control for Pain Control Following Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy
Sponsor: University of Tennessee Medical Center
Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of the erector spinae (ESP) block in reducing the morphine milligram equivalent (MME) consumption post percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Objectives: 1. \- Determine if there is a significant effect on post percutaneous nephrolithotomy MME consumption with the usage of an ESP block vs. saline control. 2. \- Determine if there is a significant effect on reported pain levels with the use of an ESP block vs. saline control in post percutaneous nephrolithotomies.

Interventions
Erector Spinae Plane Block
The Anesthesiologist will use ultrasound-guided technique and inject 30mL of 0.5% ropivacaine with 4 mg of dexamethasone or saline placebo control into the erector spinae muscle, superficial to the tips of the thoracic transverse processes
Ropivacaine 0.5% Injectable Solution
The Anesthesiologist will use ultrasound-guided technique and inject 30mL of 0.5% ropivacaine with 4 mg of dexamethasone or saline placebo control into the erector spinae muscle, superficial to the tips of the thoracic transverse processes
Dexamethasone
The Anesthesiologist will use ultrasound-guided technique and inject 30mL of 0.5% ropivacaine with 4 mg of dexamethasone or saline placebo control into the erector spinae muscle, superficial to the tips of the thoracic transverse processes
