Objectives: Despite laparoscopic cholecystectomy minimally invasive nature, it is not without pain. Considering the studies and facts mentioned before in the text we have planned to study the comparative efficacy of ultrasound guided bilateral oblique subcostal transverse abdominis plane block with bilateral erector spinae plane block in post operative analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Methods: The randomised controlled study was conducted at Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla, India, from March 2020 to March 2021. Patients were given blocks according to the computer-generated randomisation 30 minutes before shifting to the operation theatre. Group A received B/L Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) and group B received B/L ESP block. Patient VAS score, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) score and demand of rescue analge.. View more»
