What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intrathcal Morphine GroupProcedure or surgery

    intrathecal morphine (150 μg) in addition to standard spinal anesthetic drugs(10-12 mg 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine)

  • Quadratus Lumborum nerve block(QL) groupProcedure or surgery

    intrathecal morphine (150 μg) in addition to standard spinal anesthetic drugs (10-12 mg 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine) + bilateral QL block by injecting 20 ml of 0.25% isobaric bupivacaine bolus with 4 mg ) dexamethasone as an adjuvant

  • Erector Spinae nerve block (ESP)groupProcedure or surgery

    intrathecal morphine (150 μg) in addition to standard spinal anesthetic drugs (10-12 mg 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine) + bilateral ESP block by injecting 20 ml of 0.25% isobaric bupivacaine bolus with 4 mg ) dexamethasone as an adjuvant
