Comparative Evaluation of Quadratus Lumborum and Transverses Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Relief in Lower Abdominal Surgeries
September 19, 2016 updated by: Dr Vikas Saini, Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research
Two ultrasound guided techniques to give postoperative pain relief to the patients following abdominal surgeries would be compared using scoring systems for pain relief and scientific methods.
while one technique is routinely used, other i.e quadratus lumborum has been recently described and relies on posterior deposition of the drug.
Both the techniques are safe and ultrasound imaging is to be used for guidance.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
|---|---|
|
Experimental: quadratus lumborum
|
The intervention consists of giving ultrasound guided local anaesthetic (0.125% bupivacaine ) in the quadratus lumborum plane or the transversus abdominis plane after randomization.
These planes and technique for these procedures are well described in literature.
