Brief summary

the purpose of this study is to compare of better postoperative analgesia following lumber spine discectomy

Interventions

The probe will be placed in the parasagittal plane at the level of the L3 vertebrae. The spinous process will be visualized, and the probe was moved 3 cm laterally from the midline. The erector spinae musclewill be visualized above the transverse process. The needle will be punctured in the craniocaudal direction using the in-plane technique. The needle will be directed superior to the transverse process . Then, 2 mL normal saline solution will be injected into the deep fascia of the erector spinae muscle to confirm the proper injection site. After ensuring the location of the needle, 20 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine will be administered. The same ESPB procedure will be performed on the other side. In total, 40 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine was administered

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Length of hospital stayup to 1 weak postoperative.from the day of admission till discharge from hospital

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The time of dischargeup to 2 hours postoperative.The time from arrival to the PACU to discharge to the ward
6 minutes walk test24 hours postoperativeinvolves walking for 6 min on a 30 m walking path and measuring the distance
Functional reach test24 hours postoperativequantifies participants' dynamic in-place standing balance control to reach distance. The distance between the starting and maximal forward reach distance beyond the participant's arm length represents the reach distance and is recorded in centimeters
The recovery timeup to 30 minutes postoperative.time from discontinuation of isoflurane to first response to verbal command
Pain intensity30 minutes after the end of the surgery, as well as 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively10-point NRS \[(0 = no pain, 10 = worst imaginable pain), 1 - 3: Mild pain (nagging, annoying, slightly interfering with activities of daily living (ADLs), 4 - 6: Moderate pain (significantly interfering with ADLs, 7 - 10: Severe pain (disabling, unable to perform ADLs)\]
Time to first call analgesia24 hours postoperative
Total naluphine consumption24 hours post-operative
Time up and go test24 hours postoperativeobjective measure of functional disability that can be used to evaluate various activities such as standing, accelerating, walking, decelerating, and turning, which are often limited in patients with lumbar degenerative diseases
