Overview
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a novel regional block technique that was proven to have superior outcomes in relieving postoperative pain in colorectal surgeries.Ketamine enhances the impact of local anaesthetics by reducing the duration and extent of motor block while shortening the onset of sensory and motor block.Transdermal Fentanyl Patch (TFP) was better than transdermal buprenorphine in postoperative analgesia following abdominal surgeries.
