Comparing the Postoperative Analgesic Efficiency of Trans-muscular Quadratus Lumborum Block Versus PENG Block for Hip Surgery in Pediatrics: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating TQL block and PENG block for Pain, Postoperative and Developmental Dislocation of Hip. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Surgical procedure including hip joint surgery is extremely painful and associated with considerable postoperative pain in children despite the use of systemic opioids. Caudal block is a common method used for perioperative pain relief in pediatric lower limb surgeries but carries some complications. Some novel techniques of regional anesthesia were explored including the quadratus lumborum block (QLB), lumbar plexus block, and recently Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block. The objective of the current trial is primarily to assess the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided trans-muscular QLB versus ultrasound-guided PENG block in pediatric patients undergoing open hip surgery for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)

Timeline
Interventions
Ultrasonography-guided quadratus lumborum block (QLB) where we will infiltrate local anesthetic solution adjacent to the anterolateral aspect of the quadratus lumborum muscle
Ultrasound-guided local anesthetic infiltration will be injected in the musculofascial plane between the psoas tendon anteriorly and the pubic ramus posteriorly
