RESULTS
There was no differences in patients characteristics between groups (Table 1). VAS and DVAS values were lower in the ESPB group at the 0th, 6th, 24thhours (p<0.05) but pain related to the urinary catheter was similar between groups(Table 2,3). Number of the agitated patients in recovery room were higher in the control group (11(39.3%); 4(13.8%), p<0.005)(table 4).
Number of and time to rescue analgesia (100mg tramadol) were lower in ESPB group within 24 hours (p<0.005) but oral intake time, mobilization time and length of hospital stay were similar between groups ( Table 5)
The ratio of preoperative PEFR: Postoperative PEFR in the recovery room (0th hour) were lower in control group comparing to control group (64,5%, 74,8%; respectively, p<0.005) but it was similar in the later hours (table 6). SpO2 values of the patients were similar until 24th hour but lower in control group in the 24th hour(p<0.05) (Table 6)
