Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of quadratus lumborum block in patient undergoing a living donor kidney transplant under general anesthesia.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study was to investigate whether postoperative pain is significantly reduced when TQL block was additionally performed after surgery in patients undergoing living-donor kidney transplantation. Therefore, investigator hypothesized that the analgesic consumption for postoperative 24 hours will decrease in TQL group compared to the control group. For secondary outcomes, the pain score at rest/ movement up to 48 hours after surgery, the time until the first pain reliever is requested, whether and how often rescue analgesics are administered for 48 hours, the incidence and severity of nausea and vomiting during the 48 hours after surgery, patient's satisfaction with post-pain control and the number of hospital stays were investigated. Overall, the aim of this study is to evaluate the postoperative analgesic effect of quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing a living donor kidney transplantation under general anesthesia.

Conditions

• Analgesia

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Transmuscular quadratus lumborum block	Patients assigned to the TQL block group receive the TQL block in a supine position with the surgical site facing up before recovery of general anesthesia after surgery. For the block, 30cc of 0.375% ropivacaine is used.
PROCEDURE	Placebo	For patients assigned to the control group, 30cc of 0.9% normal saline is used for TQL block.
