Efficacy Of Ultrasound Guided External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block for Subcostal Nephrectomy

Overview

The patients will be randomly allocated into two equal groups using a computer program. Group A: will receive external oblique intercostal block after induction. Group B: will receive postoperative morphine per patient request.

General anaesthesia induction will be achieved using fentanyl 1µg/kg (IV), propofol 2mg/kg (IV), and0.5mg/kg of IV Atracurium. General anaesthesia will be maintained with mechanical ventilation with isoflurane with O2 \\ Air mixture. During anaesthesia maintenance Intraoperatively, if BP or heart rate (HR) increase more than 20% from baseline, intravenous morphine will be given to stabilize the patients' haemodynamics.
