Treatment and study plan

QLB

Procedure

QLB, quadratus lumborum block.

Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA)

Procedure

Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump was used to supply additional analgesia and removed 48 h post-operationally.

Primary outcomes

  1. the change trend of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at rest and movement

    Time frame: 0-48 hours postoperatively

    The purpose is to view the change of the level of pain assessed by subjects at adjacent time points. We would set 0, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours postoperatively as observational time points.

Secondary outcomes

  1. total morphine consumption

    Time frame: 0-48 hours postoperatively

    total morphine consumption

  2. complications

    Time frame: 0-48 hours postoperatively

    nausea, vomiting, retention of urine, lower limb weakness, etc.
