Ultrasound-Guided Erector Spinae Plane Block In Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Bariatric Surgery: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Bariatric surgery is frequently complicated with considerable postoperative pain. We evaluated the impact of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block on perioperative analgesia and pulmonary functions following laparoscopic bariatric surgery. ⋯ Ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block provided satisfactory postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic bariatric surgery with decreased analgesic consumption without significant difference in postoperative pulmonary functions compared with the control group.
