Brief summary

Erector Spinae plane block (ESPB) is a regional anesthesia technique described three years ago. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that ESPB could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the cesarean section, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral low thoracic ESPB in cesarean section.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
24 hours opioid consumption	24 hour	morphine consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensity	24 hour	Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. no pain) to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. pain as bad as you can imagine or worst pain imaginable).
