Abstract

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of analgesia after cesarean section using a single dose of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block. Research on side effects of ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block. Methods: A non-controlled, prospective clinical trial. The study was conducted on 100 patients undergoing C section under spinal block  at Buu Dien Hospital. They received diclofenac 100 mg rectally, paracetamol 1 g I.V every 8 hours and QLB with 15 ml Ropivacain 0.4% (when sense blockade below D12). Results: (I) In terms of analgesia: The average onset time was 6.97 ± 1.43 minutes. The average lasting duration of analgesic effect was 9.28 ± 2.15 hours. The VAS score within 48 hour postoperatively were mainly from 1 to 3 points. Rate of very satisfied was 86% and of satisfied was 14%. (II) About side effects: no serious adverse event reported. The rate of nausea and vomiting was 4%. Conclusion: Quadratus lumborum block was effective and safe in analgesia after cesarean section.
