Abstract

OBJECTIVES: There is a scarcity of research regarding the effects of LAs adjuvant drugs in erector spinae plane block (ESPB), especially in scoliosis surgery. This study aimed to compare dexmedetomidine (DEX) or magnesium sulfate (MgSO₄) as adjuvants for bupivacaine in bilateral bi-level ultrasound-guided ESPB (USG-ESPB) in patients undergoing corrective scoliosis surgery.
