Overview

May support ultrasound-guided blocks for post-hernia pain; hypothesis-generating and requires larger RCTs before practice change.

Structured PICO

Does ultrasound-guided anterior quadratus lumborum block reduce the total dose of rescue analgesia compared to unilateral intrathecal block in patients undergoing open inguinal hernia surgery?

P
Population
50 patients undergoing open inguinal hernia surgery.

Main Result

p-value: p=<0.001

Ultrasound-guided anterior quadratus lumborum block improves postoperative analgesic control and reduces analgesic consumption compared to unilateral intrathecal block in patients undergoing open inguinal hernia surgery.

Ahmed B. Shehab El‐Din (2024) conducted an RCT in Inguinal hernia (n=50). Ultrasound-guided anterior quadratus lumborum block (QLB) vs. Unilateral intrathecal block was evaluated on Total dose of rescue analgesia (p=<0.001). Ultrasound-guided anterior quadratus lumborum block significantly reduced the total dose of required rescue analgesia compared to unilateral intrathecal block (P<0.001).
