Overview

Brief Summary

Multimodal analgesia is used to control postoperative pain in hip surgery. Quadratus lumborum block is an effective regional anesthesia technique for hip and proximal femur surgery. The erector spinae plane block applied to the lumbar region was also reported to provide effective analgesia in these surgeons. In this study, we aimed to determine and compare the effects of quadratus lumborum block and lumbar erector spinae plane block on postoperative pain in hip and proximal femur surgeons.

Primary Outcomes

Pain

Time Frame: 24 hours

Changes in Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) at rest and on movement will be recorded at intervals. 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").
