Postoperative analgesic effects of the quadratus lumborum block III and transversalis fascia plane block in paediatric patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip undergoing open reduction surgeries: a double-blinded randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the analgesic effectiveness of two novel regional nerve blocks in paediatric patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) after open reduction surgeries.

Design

Prospective, double-blinded, randomised controlled trial.

Setting

2 tertiary teaching hospitals in China between August 2017 and July 2018.

Participants

110 paediatric patients aged 2-10 years with DDH undergoing open reduction surgeries were recruited, 95 were randomised and 90 were included in the final analysis.

Interventions

Random assignment to quadratus lumborum block III (QLB III) group, transversalis fascia plane block (TFPB) group and the control (no region nerve block) group.

Primary and secondary outcome measures

The primary outcome was the Face,
