Overview
Brief Summary
Patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty are randomly assigned to two groups (fascia iliaca compartement block [FICB] group or quadratus lumborum block [QLB] group). In the FICB group, ultrasound-guided suprainguinal FICB (30 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine with 75 µg of epinephrine) is performed on the ipsilateral surgical side at the end of surgery. In the QLB group, ultrasound-guided anterior QLB (30 ml of 0.375% ropivacaine with 75 µg of epinephrine) is done on the ipsilateral surgical side at the end of surgery. A standardized multimodal analgesic regimen is used for postoperative pain control. The total use of opioids including patient-controlled analgesia and rescue analgesics is compared in both groups for 24 hours after surgery. The amount of opioids used is compared by conversion to oral morphine equivalent dose. Pain score at rest and movement during postoperative 24 hours, time to first request for analgesics, the incidence of side effects, patient satisfaction for pain control at postoperative 24 hours, quality of recovery at postoperative 24 hours, time to discharge readiness, and hospital length of stay are compared.
