Treatments tested in this trial

  • Costotransverse foramen block

    Other intervention

    Patients will receive an ipsilateral ultrasound-guided costotransverse foramen block with injection of 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25%.

  • Erector spinae plane block

    Other intervention

    Patients will receive an ipsilateral ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block with injection of 20 ml bupivacaine 0.25%.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Total morphine consumption

If the numeric rating scale (NRS) is ≥ 4, an IV morphine dose (3 mg) will be provided Paracetamol 1 gm and ketorolac 30 mg will be administered every 8 hours postoperatively.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes

1

Degree of pain

Each patient will be instructed about postoperative pain assessment with the numeric rating scale (NRS) score. NRS (0 represents "no pain" while 10 represents "the worst pain imaginable"). NRS score will be recorded in post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) then at 1, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 48 hours postoperatively.

Time frame
48 hours postoperatively
2

Time to first request of rescue analgesia

Time to first request of rescue analgesia will be recorded from the end of surgery till first dose of morphine administrated.

Time frame
24 hours postoperatively
3

Intraoperative fentanyl consumption

Intraoperative fentanyl consumption will be recorded.

Time frame
Intraoperatively
4

Mean arterial pressure

Mean arterial pressure will be recorded immediately before induction of anesthesia, 15 min after performing the block incision and at 20-minute intervals intraoperatively, and then hourly till 4 hours postoperatively.

Time frame
4 hours postoperatively
