About

the investigatots hypothesized that by injection a larger volume and higher concentration of local anesthetic in lumbar erector spinae plane block could result in successful anesthesia in patient undergoing lower limb vascular surgery.

ultrasound-guided lumbar erector spinae plane block in patient undergoing lower limb vascular surgery with higher concentration of local anesthetic to asses it is efficacy as a sole anesthetic technique, it is safety and efficacy in maintaining intraoperative hemodynamics, intra and postoperative pain control .

Full description

The patients will placed in lateral position. After aseptic preparation of the skin and probe, a high-frequency linear ultrasound transducer will move about 3 cm laterally on the parasagittal plane to visualize the transverse process of the (L2) vertebra. An 18-guage tuohy needle will be approached in-plane lateral to medial. When the needle initially touched the transverse process of L3 vertebrae, the needle will be gently withdrawn and hydrodissection of the plane achieved, lifting the erector spinae muscle. A 20-guage catheter will be introduced through the needle and total length inserted will be 3 cm more than the tip of needle (. 25 mL of 0.5% bupivacaine ( in increments slowly after negative aspiration will be injected in the interfascial plane observing the anesthetic spread.

Sensory and motor block will be evaluated and surgery will begin only after adequate block , if failed, general anesthesia will induced by injecting 1.5-2 mg/kg propofol, 2 μg/kg fentanyl & 0.5 mg/kg atracurium.

The patients will be ventilated via face mask with 100 % oxygen at a rate of 4 L/min and isoflurane 1.2 %. After 3 minutes, the patients will be intubated using appropriate sized cuffed oral tube lubricated with lidocaine jelly 2 % .

Maintenance of anesthesia will done using isoflurane 1.2 % in 100 % O2. Muscle relaxation will be continued by atracurium 0.1 mg/kg every 20 min. All patients will be mechanically ventilated to maintain end-tidal carbon dioxide between 35-40 mmHg. For 5 minutes, no surgical interventions will be allowed in the subjects to assess target blood pressure.
