Comparison of ultrasound guided anterior quadratus lumborum block versus combined pericapsular nerve group block with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block in hip surgeries-Prospective randomised control trail

Patient who fit in to inclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study after getting written informed consent from the patient. All patient’s assessment will be done on the previous day and nil per oral orders will be given as per department protocol.Baseline blood pressure and heart rate will be recorded before shifting to operating room.After shifting to operating room electrocardiography, non invasive blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be connected. A total of 60 patients of ASA I and II(aged 20-60 years) undergoing hip surgeries will be randomly allocated into two groups of 30 each.Group 1 will receive ultrasound guided anterior quadratus lumborum block with 25 ml of 0.25% ropivacaine with 0.1mg/kg of dexamethasone and Group 2 will receive combined pericapsular nerve group block (22ml) with lateral femoral cutaneous nerve block (3ml) with 0.25% ropivacaine with 0.1 mg/kg of dexamethasone before spinal anesthesia.Intraoperatively  heart rate, non invasive blood pressure and oxygen saturation will be monitored every 3 minutes for first 15 minutes and at 5 minutes for next 15 minutes.
