Analgesic Effectiveness of Ultrasound-Guided Unilateral Erector Spine Block Versus Paravertebral Block for Postoperative Management Among Adult Patients Undergoing Upper Abdominal Surgery: A Prospective Cohort Study
An ultrasound-guided unilateral ESPB for postoperative analgesia was more effective than a PVB for adult patients undergoing upper abdominal surgery. As a result, we recommend an ESPB over a PVB. The ESPB can serve as a valuable and safe alternative to either epidural or paravertebral nerve block for postoperative pain management.
