Quadratus Lumborum Block for Pediatric Hip Surgery

NCT04292782 NA COMPLETED

Caudal blockade (CB) is one of the most frequently performed regional anaesthetic techniques in children. It's an efficient way to offer perioperative analgesia for painful sub-umbilical interventions but with high incidence of motor block and urinary retention. In one study, psoas compartment block was associated with less morphine comsumption and prolonged duration of analgesia compared to single-shot caudal Block in small children undergoing open hip reduction/osteotomies. Ultasound guided anterior Quadratus lumborum block (AQLB) provides unilateral analgesia to the nerves between the psoas muscle (PM) and the quadratus lumborum muscle (QLM). The first pediatric study evaluating Quadratus lumborum block is encouraging . The first pediatric study evaluating Quadratus lumborum block is encouraging. To the best of the investigator's knowledge, there are no previously published data comparing the AQLB with other regional techniques in infants undergoing hip surgery.
