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

MP is the energy transmitted over time to the respiratory system during mechanical ventilation. Although mechanical ventilation is a life-supporting treatment, it has the potential to cause damage to the lung structure in a process referred to as VILI. Recently, the degree of VILI has been associated with the amount of energy transmitted to the respiratory system by the mechanical ventilator within a specific time frame, which is referred to as mechanical power. After the occurrence of Covid-19, the search for parameters to reduce lung damage, especially following VILI and ARDS, has become more prominent. In this regard, promoting lung protection requires the more widespread use of mechanical power. We aimed to investigate the effect of bilateral rectus sheath and OSTAP block applied to patients on mechanical power.
