Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if ESP block is safe and effective for perioperative analgesia in patients undergoing liver transplant. The main question it aims to answer are Is ESP block safe and has a minimum side effects, like hematoma? Is it effective for perioperative analgesia? Researchers will compare the results to a group of patients who underwent liver transplants without any regional anaesthesia techniques. Participants will receive bilateral thoracic ESP block on the day of the transplantation with a subsequent bilateral catheterization.

Conditions

• Liver Transplant
• Erector Spina Plan Block
