The Effect of Bilateral Rectus Sheath and Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane Block on Mechanical Power

This study looks at how certain types of blocks, bilateral rectus sheath and Oblique Subcostal Transversus Abdominis Plane (OSTAP) block, affect the energy sent to the lungs during a special breathing machine treatment. This machine, called a mechanical ventilator, helps people breathe but can sometimes hurt the lungs, known as ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). The study aims to find ways to protect the lungs, especially after Covid-19. It focuses on using mechanical power, which is the energy from the ventilator, more safely. Interested participants must be aged 18-65, be in good health (ASA 1-2), and are having a gallbladder surgery called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. People with other health issues, like severe lung problems or allergies to certain medicines, cannot join. 🤔

• Participation involves undergoing specific nerve blocks during surgery.
• No compensation mentioned for participating in the study.
• Must be willing to participate and meet health criteria.
