About

Erector Spinae plane block (ESPB) is a regional anesthesia technique described three years ago. Its use for many indications has been identified by case reports in the literature. As the investigators have considered that ESPB could be efficacious for providing postoperative analgesia in the cesarean section, the investigators have implemented the application of this blockade into practice at the clinic. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided bilateral low thoracic ESPB in cesarean section.
