INVESTIGATION OF THE INTRAOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE EFFECTS OF EXTERNAL OBLIQUE INTERCOSTAL PLAN BLOCK IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING LAPARASCOPIC CHOLESYSTECTOMY OPERATION

INVESTIGATION OF THE INTRAOPERATIVE AND POSTOPERATIVE EFFECTS

Objective: Regional anesthesia techniques, such as peripheral nerve blocks, have a lower side effect profile and higher patient satisfaction compared to central blocks. With the introduction of Ultrasonography (USG), these techniques have become more commonly and reliably performed. The purpose of our study is to compare parameters such as intraoperative hemodynamics, postoperative analgesic requirement, and patient satisfaction between patients undergoing External Oblique Intercostal Plane Block (EOIB) with those who did not receive EOIB, which has few studies conducted on it.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients aged between 18-65
• and with ASA1-2 were included.

Exclusion Criteria:• Patients younger than 18 years of age and older than 65 years of age

• Patients allergic to local anesthetics
• Patients with opioid and alcohol addiction
• Patients with perioperative signs of acute cholecystitis
• Patients with contraindications for laparoscopic surgery
• Cases with ASA III-IV were not included in the study.
