Summary

This study looked at 75 adults having lower back surgery to see if body weight affects how well a nerve block controls pain. Researchers measured pain levels at rest and while coughing in the first hours after surgery. The goal is to understand if heavier patients need different pain management approaches.

Who is studied

This prospective study includes adult patients aged 18 to 65 years with ASA physical status I-III who are scheduled to undergo elective LDH surgery under standardized general anesthesia and bilateral ESPB for postoperative analgesia at Ankara Etlik City Hospital. All participants meet predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients are categorized into three groups according to their preoperative BMI: 18-24.9 kg/m², 25-29.9 kg/m², and 30-40 kg/m². The study population represents consecutive eligible surgical patients during the study period. No experimental intervention beyond routine anesthetic and analgesic management is introduced; BMI serves as the exposure variable for comparative analysis of analgesic outcomes.
