Objective To investigate the postoperative analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in patients undergoing arthroscopic hip surgery. Methods Patients who were scheduled to undergo elective arthroscopic hip surgery were randomly assigned to the QLB (Q) or control (C) group (n = 40 each). After general anesthesia induction, unilateral QLB was performed under ultrasound guidance in the Q group. The amount of opioid use via patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and the resting and movement pain visual analog scale (VAS) scores when the patient left the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) and 4, 8, 12, and 24 hours after surgery were recorded. Postoperative complications were recorded for both groups. Results At 24 hours post-surgery, opioid consumption amounts via PCA (48.4 [48.1–48.6] mL) in the Q group were significantly lower compared with the C group (52.0 [51.0–53.8] mL). A significant reduction in opioid consumption was observed between the two groups at each time point. Resting and movement VAS scores at each time point were significantly lower in the Q compared with the C group. Conclusions Hip arthroscopy patients who received QLB and general anesthesia in combination had less pain and a lower opioid requirement within 24 hours postoperatively.

Quadratus Lumborum

Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) has been shown to be effective for pain relief after hip surgery. This study evaluated the efficacy of ultrasound-guided anterior QLB in pain control after total replacement hip arthroplasty (TRHA). A total of 115 patients receiving anterior QLB were propensity score-matched with 115 patients who did not receive the block. The primary outcome was opioid consumption at 24, 24–48, and 48 postoperative hours. Secondary outcomes included pain scores at the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48 h length of hospital stay, time to first ambulation, and the incidence of opioid-related side effects. Postoperative opioid consumption 48 h after surgery was significantly lower in the QLB group. Resting, mean, worst, and the difference of resting pain scores compared with preoperative values were significantly lower in the QLB group during the 48 postoperative hours. The length of hospital stay was shorter in the QLB group. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was significantly lower in the QLB group during the 48 postoperative hours, except at the PACU. This study suggests that anterior QLB provides effective postoperative analgesia for patients undergoing THRA performed using the posterolateral approach.

Abstract Background This study aimed to determine whether ultrasound-guided continuous erector spinae plane block (ESPB) had an effect on opioid consumption and postoperative rehabilitation in patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Methods In this prospective study, 120 patients aged 20–70 years who underwent elective VATS were randomly allocated to one of three groups: group C (general anesthesia with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia [PCIA]), group T (general anesthesia with patient-controlled epidural analgesia [PCEA]), or group E (general anesthesia with continuous ESPB and PCIA). Perioperative opioid consumption, visual analog scale (VAS) scores, preoperative and postoperative Quality of Recovery-15 scores, and postoperative opioid-related adverse events were all assessed. Results Intraoperative sufentanil consumption in groups T and E was significantly lower than that in group C (both P < 0.001), and the postoperative sufentanil consumption in group E was also significantly lower than that in group C (P = 0.001). Compared with group C, the VAS scores at rest or during coughing immediately out of the post-anesthesia care unit at 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h postoperatively were significantly lower in group T (P < 0.05). However, the VAS scores at rest at 6 h and 12 h postoperatively in group E were lower than those of group C (P < 0.05), but were significantly higher than those of group T at all study times (P < 0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound-guided continuous ESPB significantly reduced perioperative opioid consumption during VATS and improved postoperative rehabilitation. However, these effects were inferior to those of thoracic epidural anesthesia.

Abstract Background: early postoperative ambulation and reduction of hospital stay necessitate efficient postoperative analgesia. Quadrates Lumborum Block (QLB) has been described to provide adequate postoperative analgesia after abdominal surgery. This randomized comparative trial was designed to compare the duration of analgesia provided by two different QLB approaches; the posterior QLB (QLB-2) and transmuscular QLB (QLB-3) in patients undergoing surgical repair of unilateral inguinal hernia. Methods: Forty patients, aged from 18-50 years, ASA physical status I or II, scheduled for unilateral inguinal hernia repair were enrolled. At the end of the surgical procedure and before recovery from general anesthesia, Patients were randomly assigned into two groups to receive either posterior QLB (Group QLB-2) or transmuscular QLB (Group QLB-3) using 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine. Duration of analgesia, postoperative VAS and postoperative opioid consumption were recorded. Results: duration of block was significantly longer in QLB-3 group when compared to QLB-2 group (20.1 + 6.2 hours versus 12.0 + 4.8 respectively) with P value of < 0.001. A statistically significant lower VAS score was recorded in QLB-3 group immediately and 12 hrs postoperative. QLB-3 group showed a statistically significant delayed time of first analgesic request and less postoperative morphine consumption with P value of < 0.001 and 0.001 respectively. Conclusions: Ultrasound guided postsurgical transmuscular approach of QLB (QLB-3) using 20 ml 0.25% bupivacaine produces more postoperative analgesic effect and less postoperative opioid consumption when compared to posterior QLB approach (QLB-2) in patients underwent unilateral inguinal hernia repair under general anesthesia.
