Özet

Objective: Since initial description by Forero for thoracic region, ultrasound guided erector spinae plane (ESP) block has experienced several surgeries for postoperative pain management, chronic pain or surgical anesthesia. Although ESP block has been reported to provide effective analgesia in the thoracic region, its effect in lumbar region still unclear. In this study we aimed to showed our successful experience with lumbar ESP block as a main anesthetic technique in fifteen high risk elderly patients undergoing hip surgery with mild propofol sedation.
