Procedure: Ultrasound Guided Suprainguinal Fascia iliaca Block
Procedure: Ultrasound Guided Anterior Quadratus Lumborum Block
Registration Number
NCT05684471
Lead Sponsor
Samsun University
Brief Summary

Quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a facial plane block defined to provide analgesia from T7-L3 dermatomes. There are articles reporting that it is an effective analgesic method in hip surgeries. Suprainguinal fascia iliaca block (SIFIB) also blocks components of the lumbar plexus and provides effective analgesia in hip surgeries. The investigators aim to compare the effectiveness of QLB and SIFIB in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty (THA).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cumulative opioid comsumptionup to 24 hour

Morphine consumptions for both group will be recorded

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Quality of Recovery (QoR-15)at 24th hour

The impact of surgical and anesthetic interventions on perioperative quality of life and ability to resume routine life activities will be assessed using the Quality of Recovery (QoR) tool. The QoR-15 scale is a patient-based outcome measure in the form of a 15-item validated questionnaire.

Numeric rating scale for postoperative pain intensityup to 24 hours

Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. (3-6-12-18-24th hour) NRS is a unidimensional measure of pain intensity in adults. The NRS is a segmented numeric version of the visual analog scale (VAS) in which a respondent selects a whole number (0-10 integers) that best reflects the intensity of his/her pain. The 11-point numeric scale ranges from '0' representing one pain extreme (e.g. "no pain") to '10' representing the other pain extreme (e.g. "pain as bad as you can imagine" or "worst pain imaginable").

Presence of quadriceps motor block (defined as paralysis or paresis).up to 24 hours

Quadriceps motor function will be tested with the patient supine and with the hip and knee flexed at 45º and 90º, respectively. The subject will be asked to extend the knee first against gravity and then against resistance. Quadriceps strength will be graded according to a 3-point scale: normal strength = 0 point (extension against resistance); paresis = 1 point (extension against gravity but not against resistance); and paralysis = 2 points (no extension).
