Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the recovery after cesarean section in patients who will receive Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) as a part of multimodal analgesia using Postoperative quality of recovery scale.
Detailed Description
Several researchers had evaluated the effectiveness of QLB in controlling postoperative pain in different patient populations. In these studies, the effectiveness of the QLB was mainly assessed by postoperative pain scores and analgesia consumption, rather than adapting any of the more comprehensive recovery scales . Postoperative quality of recovery scale (PostopQRS) is a relatively new recovery score, which was first published on 2010, and was designed to be a tool for assessment of multiple domains in recovery. In this assessment tool, recovery was defined as return to the pre-surgery base line scores or better. The aim of this prospective study is to evaluate the recovery after cesarean section in patients who will receive Quadratus Lumborum Block QLB as a part of multimodal analgesia using Postoperative quality of recovery scale.
