Szczegółowy opis
Effective postoperative analgesia following cesarean delivery is essential not only for improving maternal comfort but also for facilitating early mobilization, breastfeeding, and maternal-infant bonding. Inadequate pain control has been associated with delayed mobilization, pulmonary complications, postpartum depression, and the development of chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP).
Intrathecal morphine (ITM) has long been regarded as the gold standard for post-cesarean analgesia, providing effective pain relief for 18-24 hours after a single dose. However, its use is limited by opioid-related adverse effects, including pruritus, postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV), sedation, and urinary retention. These adverse effects may reduce maternal satisfaction and negatively affect breastfeeding and early mobilization.
In recent years, quadratus lumborum block (QLB) has emerged as an effective alternative for postoperative analgesia in abdominal surgery. Among the various QLB approaches, the lateral QLB-I technique has attracted considerable interest because of its ease of ultrasound-guided application, low incidence of motor block, and potential to provide extensive visceral and somatic analgesia. Previous studies have demonstrated that QLB can effectively attenuate both somatic and visceral pain, with cranial spread of local anesthetic along the thoracolumbar fascia reaching the ventral rami of the thoracic nerves (Blanco, 2015; Elsharkawy, 2019).
Randomized controlled trials in patients undergoing cesarean delivery have shown that QLB reduces postoperative opioid consumption, lowers pain scores, and improves patient satisfaction compared with control groups (Salama, 2020; Zhu, 2021). However, studies directly comparing QLB with ITM remain limited. Current evidence suggests that the analgesic efficacy of QLB may be comparable to that of ITM, although robust evidence demonstrating non-inferiority is still lacking.
Compared with ITM, the principal advantages of lateral QLB include the absence of motor blockade, the potential to reduce opioid-related adverse effects, and facilitation of early mobilization. Although ITM provides potent analgesia, demonstrating that the analgesic efficacy of lateral QLB is clinically equivalent within a non-inferiority margin not exceeding 10 mg intravenous morphine milligram equivalents (IV-MME) would represent a clinically acceptable outcome in terms of patient comfort and safety.
Accordingly, the primary objective of this study is to determine whether lateral QLB-I provides non-inferior postoperative analgesia compared with ITM. Secondary objectives include a comprehensive evaluation of adverse effects, quality of recovery using the ObsQoR-11T, and postoperative opioid consumption.

Mg/ kg (IBW).
Nie będzie stosowany wlew podstawowy.
Inne nazwy:
Active Lateral QLB Local anesthetic: 0.25% bupivacaine, 0.4 mL/kg perside (maximum 30 mL per side). Maximum total dose: Bupivacaine ≤2.5 mg/kg (maximum approximately 150 mg). Timing: Immediately after completion of surgery. The patient will be positioned supine or in a slight lateral decubitus position. A high-frequency linear US transducer (5-12 MHz) will be placed on the anterolateral abdominal wall at the T12-L1 level. The fascial plane will be identified under ultrasound guidance. A 22-gauge, 100-mm needle will be advanced using an in-plane approach, and after negative aspiration, the local anesthetic will be injected incrementally with hydrodissection confirming correct spread. Sham ITM: The spinal anesthesia technique will be identical to that of the active ITM group. Morphine will be replaced with 0.2 mL preservative-free normal saline, while maintaining an identical syringe volume (2.7 mL) and appearance.

Hyperbaric 0.5% bupivacaine 12.5 mg, fentanyl 20 µg, and morphine 80 µg (0.08 mg). Spinal anesthesia will be performed at the L3-L4 or L4-L5 intervertebral space using a 25-gauge Quincke spinal needle. The study solution will be prepared to a total volume of 2.7 mL. Sham QLB Following completion of surgery, the patient will be positioned in the lateral decubitus position. The ultrasound transducer will be placed over the lateral QLB scanning window. A 22-gauge needle will be advanced into the skin and subcutaneous tissue only, without entering the fascial plane. To maintain procedural standardization and preserve blinding, 1-2 mL of normal saline will be injected into the subcutaneous tissue. Procedure duration, patient positioning, ultrasound probe placement, and dressing application will be identical to those used for the active lateral QLB-I procedure. A sterile dressing will be applied at the end of the procedure.
