The effect of bilateral rectus sheath and oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane blocks on mechanical power in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of bilateral rectus sheath blocks (RSBs) and oblique subcostal transversus abdominis plane (OSTAP) blocks on mechanical power (MP) in patients receiving laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia. Additionally, we sought to evaluate the impact of these blocks on postoperative pain and quality of patient recovery.

Methods

In this prospective, double-blind study, 66 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomized into two groups: Group C (control), which received a standard analgesic intravenous regimen; and Group B (block), which received bilateral RSB and OSTAP blocks. Intraoperative mechanical power was measured for all patients. Postoperative pain was assessed using visual analog s
