Abstract
(Reg Anesth Pain Med. 2019;44:896–900) Reducing pain and opioid consumption after scheduled cesarean delivery is important for maternal comfort and bonding with her newborn. The quadratus lumborum block has been found to reduce pain after cesarean delivery. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic effect of an ultrasound-guided transmuscular quadratus lumborum (TQL) block in reducing opioid consumption in the first 24 hours following cesarean delivery. The authors hypothesized a TQL block with ropivacaine would result in a minimum relevant difference of 50% reduction in opioid consumption during the first 24 hours compared with a TQL block with saline placebo.
