Lumbal Erector Spinae Plane Block for Pain Management After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Sponsor: University Tunis El Manar
Summary
The Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) block or spinal erector block was first described in September 2016 by a Canadian team. It's a block that was initially used for the treatment of chronic thoracic neuropathic pain. The ESP block is one of the inter-fascicular blocks and it's an easy-to-perform technique.In the literature, it has been reported that Lumbar ESPB provides effective analgesia after a hip surgery. The purpose of this prospective randomized study was to compare the analgesic effects of the ultrasound-guided lumbar Erector Spinae Plane block on postoperative pain management versus the multimodal analgesia after total hip arthroplasty.

Lumbal Erector Spinae Plane Block
Lumbar ESP block performed after anesthesia induction. A low-frequency ultrasound probe will be placed longitudinally 2-3 cm lateral to the L4 transverse process. Erector spinae muscle will be visualized on the hyperechoic transverse process. The block needle (100 mm, 22G) will be inserted cranio-caudal direction and following confirmation of the correct position of the needle, between the erectorspinae muscle and the transverse process,30 ml of local anesthetic (0.25% bupivacaine/0.2% ropivacaine) will be administered for the block.
