Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) as a new trunk fascia block technique was proposed in 2016. Following the first publication and description of the ESP block there has been a vivid interest in this technique mainly for postoperative analgesia. Historically Bupivacaine was used as it had a long duration of action, but subsequently it was found that “propyl derivatives” of pipecoloxylidides were less toxic than ‘butyl derivatives’ (bupivacaine). Thus, Ropivacaine was developed after bupivacaine was noted to be associated with significant less number of cardiac arrests. A prospective double blinded randomized controlled study was conducted on ASA I, II, III patients undergoing lower lumbar spine surgeries under general anaesthesia with bilateral erector spinae block who fulfill inclusion criteria. The use of rescue analgesics was significantly less (p<0.001 using student t test) in continuous erector spinae group.
