Postoperative analgesic efficacy of continous quadratus lumborum block versus continous epidural in hip replacement surgery
Main Article Content
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to compare the analgesic efficacy and the side effects of continuous quadratus lumborum block versus continous epidural for hip replacement surgery. 60 patients with hip replacement surgery were relieved of postoperative pain by continuous quadratus lumborum (QL) block and continuous epidural blockv from April 2019 to August 2019 at Center of Anesthesia & Surgical Intensive Care, Viet Duc Hospital. Mean VAS score at rest of the continuous quadratus lumborum block group after bolus was equal to the mean VAS score of continuous epidural group allmost of the time of the study. The rates of nausea, urinary retention, and unilateral blockade were statistically significantly lower with continuous quadratus lumborum block compared with continuous epidural anesthesia. Our study is showed that continuous quadratus lumborum block has comparable postoperative pain relief and less adverse effects than epidural anesthesia for hip replacement surgery.
