Ultrasound Guided Lumbar Erector Spinae Block Using Bupivacaine - Magnesium Sulphate Versus Bupivacaine - Dexamethasone in Total Hip Replacement Surgery

The current study was done to evaluate the effect of adding dexamethasone and magnesium sulfate to bupivacaine as adjuvants in an ultrasound-guided erector spinae block for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to assess their impact on the timing of the first request for analgesia and on overall postoperative analgesic requirements.
