Summary

Two ultrasound guided techniques to give postoperative pain relief to the patients following abdominal surgeries would be compared using scoring systems for pain relief and scientific methods. while one technique is routinely used, other i.e quadratus lumborum has been recently described and relies on posterior deposition of the drug. Both the techniques are safe and ultrasound imaging is to be used for guidance.

Conditions

  • Pain Relief to the Patient Following Abdominal Surgeries

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum or Transversus Abdominis plane block

The intervention consists of giving ultrasound guided local anaesthetic (0.125% bupivacaine ) in the quadratus lumborum plane or the transversus abdominis plane after randomization. These planes and technique for these procedures are well described in literature.
