Comput Math Methods Med. 2022 Aug 11;2022:3264142. doi: 10.1155/2022/3264142. eCollection 2022.. 2022 01-Aug;():. 10.1155/2022/3264142A meta-analysis of 15 randomized controlled trials was conducted to compare the effect of an erector spinae plane block (ESPB) on opioid consumption after 48 hours following lumbar spine surgery, compared to a control group. Secondary outcomes of interest included Visual Analog Scale (VAS)/Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores at rest and with movement, time to first rescue analgesia, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), length of hospital stay, and patient satisfaction. Pooled analysis for opioid consumption, VAS/NRS pain scores, time to first rescue analgesia, PONV, patient satisfaction, and length of hospital stay favoured the ESPB group.
