Summary

This study aims to compare the Quadro-Iliac Plane Block versus Erector Spinae Plane Block after total hip arthroplasty.

Detailed description

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is frequently utilized in elderly patients to address hip pain and restore joint function. Effective postoperative pain management is critical; however, the use of opioids is associated with a range of adverse effects, including nausea, vomiting, pruritus, constipation, respiratory depression, and the risk of dependence. Quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB) has been introduced, combining elements of both posterior and anterior QLB approaches. Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) was initially described as an analgesic approach for managing thoracic neuropathic pain. This innovative fascial block technique enables sensory blockade across multiple abdominal and thoracic wall segments.
