Comparative efficacy of quadratus lumborum type-II and erector spinae plane block in patients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia: a randomised controlled trial
Authors' conclusion
We concluded that patients who underwent QLB-II or ESPB reported similar analgesic efficacy, complications, and quality of recovery in the postoperative period.
Study context
- Population
- Parturients undergoing caesarean section under spinal anaesthesia
- Participants
- 52 participants
- Comparison
- Ultrasound-guided QLB-II vs erector spinae plane block (ESPB) after surgery
- QLB-IIn = 26
- ESPBn = 26
- Primary endpoint
- Fentanyl consumption
- Follow-up
- 24-h postoperative period
Primary result
As reported in the abstract
Cumulative number of fentanyl doses
- No significant difference in cumulative number of fentanyl doses between QLB-II and ESPB (W = 349.000)
- P = 0.840
