Qudratus Lumborum Block Versus Unilateral Intrathecal Block for Inguinal Hernia Repair

April 5, 2021 updated by: Hala mohamed Rashad mohamed, Zagazig University

Ultrasound Guided Qudratus Lumborum Block Versus Unilateral Intrathecal Block for Patient Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair

compare between Quadratus lumborum block and unilateral intrathecal block for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair regarding the quality of anesthesia and hemodynamic stability of patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

comparison between unilateral intrathecal block anesthesia (unilateral SA) and Quadratus lumborum block for inguinal hernia repair unilateral intrathecal block is widely used nowadays for unilateral inguinal hernia repair, providing intense sensory and motor blockade. Limiting the block to the operative site by using small doses of hyperbaric solutions injected slowly through a directional needle and maintaining a lateral decubitus position for a certain duration has been proposed, to produce high quality, long-duration analgesia, with minimal hemodynamic adverse events.

Previous case report studies stated that we can use Quadratus Lumborum Block as the sole anesthetic technique for open hernia repair.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To assess safety of quadratus lumborum block vs unilateral intrathecal block for inguinal hernia repair: complications of the block
Time Frame: 2 hours
complications of the block in each group like inadequate blockade detected by increased dose of sedation required in this group ,hemodynamic instability related to the block detected by frequent monitoring of the blood pressure and heart rate
2 hours

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
To compare the onset and duration of sensory block between both blocks
Time Frame: 12 hours
the onset of pin brick discrimination and time of first request of analgesics after block performance in each group
12 hours
To compare the time to ambulation
Time Frame: 24 hours
the time till the patient succeed in ambulation
24 hours
