RESULTS
There was no differences in patients characteristics between groups
(Table 1). VAS and DVAS values were lower in the ESPB group at the
0th, 6th, 24thhours (p<0.05) but pain related to the urinary catheter was
similar between groups(Table 2,3). Number of the agitated patients in
recovery room were higher in the control group (11(39.3%); 4(13.8%),
p<0.005)(table 4).
Number of and time to rescue analgesia (100mg tramadol) were lower in
ESPB group within 24 hours (p<0.005) but oral intake time,
mobilization time and length of hospital stay were similar between
groups ( Table 5)
The ratio of preoperative PEFR: Postoperative PEFR in the recovery room
(0th hour) were lower in control group comparing to
control group (64,5%, 74,8%; respectively, p<0.005) but it
was similar in the later hours (table 6). SpO2 values of
the patients were similar until 24th hour but lower in
control group in the 24th hour(p<0.05)
