Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Analgesia of Erector Spinae Plane Block Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block

Study Description

Brief Summary: Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer worldwide. These patients usually undergo open surgical resection of cancer under general anaesthesia. The aim of this study is to detect whether the Erector spinae plan block or Quadratus lumborum block will provide the most ideal analgesia for these patients. Erector spinae plan block is a novel analgesic technique that provides both visceral and somatic analgesia due to its communication with the paravertebral space. Quadratus lumborum block is a truncal nerve block usually used for intra-abdominal surgeries. Ultrasound guidance increases the accuracy and safety of both techniques. A local anaesthetic mixture of Bupivacaine 0.25% and dexamethasone will be used for both techniques.

Detailed Description: Erector spinae plane block and quadratus lumborum block are analgesic techniques suitable for open colorectal cancer surgeries. postoperative pain score, serum levels of biomarkers of stress (cortisol and CRP), primary hemodynamics, time to first rescue analgesic request, the total amount of rescue analgesic consumption and postoperative nausea and vomiting are the parameters of comparison between both techniques.
