Ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in Children Undergoing Laparoscopic Appendicectomy: A Randomized Clinical Study

Zagazig University·interventional·Posted Jul 24, 2019·Updated Aug 7, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating QLB and TAP block for Children and Appendicitis. Completed, enrolled 34 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

QL block has been recently described for chronic pain following abdominal hernia repair, and for postoperative analgesia following abdominal surgery as it leads to complete pain relief in the dermatomal area from (T6 - L1). Theoretically, QL blocks might give better and longer-lasting analgesia compared to the US-guided anterior TAP block due to a spread to the thoracic paravertebral space and sympathetic nerves in the thoracolumbar fascia, so visceral afferent pathways to the medulla can be blocked.
