Effect of Addition of Dexmedetomidine During Ultrasound Guided Bilateral Single Shot Erector Spinae Plane Block in Patients Undergoing Posterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion Under General Anesthesia

Summary

Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) is the management of choice in double level lumbar (L) spondylolisthesis (L3-L5) after ineffective conservative treatment. We evaluated bilateral ultrasound (US)-guided single shot erector spinae plane (ESP) block at the level of lumbar 3 (L3) vertebra with or without dexmedetomidine (Dex).
