Intraoperative Freehand Erector Spinae Block in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis Surgery
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
The Efficacy of Intraoperative Freehand Erector Spinae Plane Block in Lumbar Spondylolisthesis: A Randomized Controlled Study.
Spine (Phila Pa 1976). 2021 Sep 1;46(17): E902-E910.Sixty patients with spondylolisthesis scheduled for a posterior spinal instrumentation and fusion procedure were randomized to receive an intraoperative erector spinae plane block (n=30) or a sham injection (n=30). Outcomes of interest included pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), patient satisfaction, morphine consumption and demand, length of stay, and the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting. Results demonstrated significantly lower post-operative pain, greater patient satisfaction, less demand for and use of morphine, lower need for rescue analgesia, and shorter length of stay in the erector spinae plane block group.
