Abstract
visual analogue score (VAS) was used to record it postoperatively every 2 hours while we found a statistically significant difference regarding the VAS from 4 to 6 hours postoperatively as P <0.005, but, we found no difference regarding the postoperative total consumption of nalbuphine (P <0.005) . As for patient satisfaction in the studied groups, an anaesthesia satisfaction questionnaire was developed, validated (Kappa coefficient). Dexmedetomidine group was associated with a significant increase in satisfaction compared to MG group (P<0.05).
Conclusion: Magnesium sulphate and dexmedetomidine seem to be both effective adjuvants to bupivacaine in ESP blocks for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing lumbar spine surgeries, with slightly better analgesia provided by dexmedetomidine.
