opioid free anesthesia consists of combination of pharmacological and non pharmacological modalities that target different pathways of pain mechanism. combining myofascial plane blocks with infusion of adjuvants such as lidocaine or dexmedetomidine can offer equivalent intraoperative hemodynamic stability compared to that of opioid with better pain control postoperatively. this study will investigate the efficacy of combined erector spina block with lidocaine and dexmedetomidine infusion as opioid sparing anesthesia in spine surgeries
patients who will undergo spine surgery will be allocated into two groups. after general anesthesia, bilateral erector spine block will be applied in both groups. group A will have intraoperative fentanyl infusion and group B will have lidocaine and dexmedetomidine infusion in 50 ml syringe till end of surgery
