Comparion of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block in Laparoskopic Cholecystectomy

May 31, 2019 updated by: Asst. Prof. Serkan Tulgar, M.D., Maltepe University

Comparison of Ultrasound Guided Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane Block and Quadratus Lumborum Block in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy

Erector Spinae Plane Block is a newly defined regional anesthesia technique. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that erector spinae plane block could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic.Quadratus Lumborum block (QLB) type 2 is another regional anesthesia technic used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Main purpose of this study is to compare the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided erector spinae block and QLB in laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: ESP Block
Ultrasound-guided bilateral Erector spinae plane (ESP) block performed before the surgery. Perioperative and postoperative routine analgesic protocol will be performed (consist of intravenous analgesics and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia) with no additional intervention (block) Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization will be performed.
Other Names:
  • Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization
Active Comparator: QLB block
Ultrasound-guided bilateral Quadratus lumborum (QLB) type 2 block performed before the surgery. Perioperative and postoperative routine analgesic protocol will be performed (consist of intravenous analgesics and intravenous patient-controlled analgesia) with no additional intervention (block) Standard Pain Followup and Monitorization will be performed.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
analgesic consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours
opioid consumption in Patient Controlled Analgesia device
24 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
NRS scores
Time Frame: 24 hours
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").
