Abstract
Demo abstract. Patients undergoing single-level posterior fusion were randomised to bilateral erector spinae plane block or standard multimodal analgesia.
Description
Primary outcome was 24-hour opioid consumption; secondary outcomes included time to first ambulation and length of stay.
Blocks were performed by a single anaesthetist to control technique variability.
Innovation / discovery
Time to first independent ambulation was used as a co-primary practical endpoint alongside opioid consumption.
Surgical / procedural method
Randomised allocation, ultrasound-guided bilateral block at closure, blinded outcome assessment for 48 hours.
Research findings
- Opioid consumption was lower in the block group in the demo dataset.
- Ambulation occurred earlier in the block group.
- No block-related complications were recorded.
