About this study

Official title: Ultrasound Guided Qudratus Lumborum Block Versus Unilateral Intrathecal Block for Patient Undergoing Inguinal Hernia Repair

compare between Quadratus lumborum block and unilateral intrathecal block for patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair regarding the quality of anesthesia and hemodynamic stability of patients.

Read the detailed description

comparison between unilateral intrathecal block anesthesia (unilateral SA) and Quadratus lumborum block for inguinal hernia repair unilateral intrathecal block is widely used nowadays for unilateral inguinal hernia repair, providing intense sensory and motor blockade. Limiting the block to the operative site by using small doses of hyperbaric solutions injected slowly through a directional needle and maintaining a lateral decubitus position for a certain duration has been proposed, to produce high quality, long-duration analgesia, with minimal hemodynamic adverse events.

Previous case report studies stated that we can use Quadratus Lumborum Block as the sole anesthetic technique for open hernia repair.

Being tested
unilateral intrathecal block

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
intrathecal blockActive comparatorpatients (25) will receive unilateral intrathecal block using 1.5 ml of hyperbaric bupivacaine
Receives: Procedure: unilateral intrathecal block
Quadratus lumborum blockActive comparatorpatients (25) will receive quadratus lumborum block by an anterior approach using 30 ml of bupivacaine 0.25%
Receives: Procedure: unilateral intrathecal block

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To assess safety of quadratus lumborum block vs unilateral intrathecal block for inguinal hernia repair: complications of the block

    complications of the block in each group like inadequate blockade detected by increased dose of sedation required in this group ,hemodynamic instability related to the block detected by frequent monitoring of the blood pressure and heart rate

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. To compare the onset and duration of sensory block between both blocks

    the onset of pin brick discrimination and time of first request of analgesics after block performance in each group

    Measured: 12 hours

  2. To compare the time to ambulation

    the time till the patient succeed in ambulation

    Measured: 24 hours
