Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 21 to 60 years, classified as ASA I or II, who are scheduled for elective abdominoplastic surgeries.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who may not benefit include those outside the age range of 21 to 60, those with ASA III or IV classifications, or those with certain medical conditions such as severe respiratory or cardiac diseases.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a combined approach using bilateral rectus sheath and erector spinae plane blocks versus using the erector spinae plane block alone for pain management in patients undergoing elective abdominoplastic surgeries. The study will involve 40 adult patients who will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups to assess their pain relief outcomes and morphine consumption during and after surgery. The goal is to determine which method provides better analgesia with fewer side effects, particularly in patients at risk for respiratory complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved pain management strategies for patients undergoing abdominoplasty, reducing the need for opioids.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar analgesic techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
