Does the combination of lumbar ESPB and transmuscular QLB provide adequate surgical anesthesia in a high-risk patient undergoing hemiarthroplasty?
The combination of lumbar ESPB and transmuscular QLB can provide adequate surgical anesthesia for hemiarthroplasty in high-risk patients where general or neuraxial anesthesia is contraindicated.
Tulgar et al. (2018) conducted a case report in Femoral neck fracture (n=1). Combination of lumbar erector spinae plane block and transmuscular quadratus lumborum block was evaluated on Surgical anesthesia and postoperative pain. The combination of lumbar erector spinae plane block and transmuscular quadratus lumborum block successfully provided adequate surgical anesthesia for hemiarthroplasty in a high-risk elderly patient.
