Detailed Description

Poor post-surgical pain control is a leading factor that hinders the physicalrehabilitation, and causes acute cognitive impairment and chronic painsyndrome. Recently, the multimodal analgesia strategies to minimise opioidrelated side effects are highly desirable in open surgical procedures. Quadratus lumborum block is a novel technique. Although ropivacaine is most commonly used forthis technique, the analgesic duration remains not dissatisfied. Compared with ropivacaine, compound lidocaine injection has a better and longer analgesic activity since it contains menthol and ethanol with appropriate concentrations. However, whether compound lidocaine injection is efficiency in the quadratus lumborum block for abdominal surgery lacks investigations. Herein, we will evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block (USG-QLB) with compound lidocaine injection and esketamine for postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Postoperative opioid consumption
Time Frame: 72 hours after surgery
Each patient was administered analgesics using a PCA (Patient-controlled analgesia) pump containing opioid in normal saline after leaving PACU (Postanesthesia care unit). Opioid cumulative consumption is recorded for 72 hours postoperatively.
72 hours after surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Apfel score
Time Frame: The 1 day before the surgery
The Apfel score was recorded for evaluating risk for developing postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV).
The 1 day before the surgery
Normalized Area of Hyperalgesia Around the Incision
Time Frame: 72 hours after surgery
The skin around the incision is stimulated in steps of 5 mm at intervals of 1 s starting outside of the hyperalgesic area in the direction of the incision. The distance from the incision to the first point where a 'painful', 'sore' or 'sharper' feeling occurred is measured and noted. This measurement is repeated at predefined radial lines around the incision. To eliminate the variable length of incision, this length is subtracted from the longer diameter leaving four radial distances from the end and from the middle of the incision. The normalized area of hyperalgesia is calculated by summing up the areas of the remaining four triangles measured by and Von Frey filament.
72 hours after surgery
Time of First Postoperative Analgesic Requirement
Time Frame: 1 hour after surgery
First postoperative pain (NRS≥5) is initially controlled by titration of opioid.
1 hour after surgery
Total Dose of First Postoperative Analgesic Requirement
Time Frame: 1 hour after surgery
First postoperative pain (NRS≥5) is initially controlled by titration of opioid.
1 hour after surgery
Mean time until passage of flatus
Time Frame: 96 hours after surgery
Gastrointestinal motility was evaluated by recording mean time until passage of flatus
96 hours after surgery
Pain Score (NRS)
Time Frame: 72 hours after surgery
The pain score at rest or after movement was evaluated by pain 11-point numerical rating scale (NRS): 0 = no pain, 10= greatest imaginable pain.
72 hours after surgery
The incidence of Side Effects
Time Frame: 72 hours after surgery
The number of patients with side effects including nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, shivering, and pruritus is recorded for 72 hours postoperatively.
