Ultrasound-Guided Quadro-Iliac Plane Block for Pain Management After Total Hip Arthroplasty

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Pain Management, Total Hip Arthroplasty

In brief

This prospective, randomized, double-blind study evaluates the analgesic effectiveness of the ultrasound-guided Quadro-Iliac Plane (QIP) block in patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty. The QIP block is a recently described fascial plane block. Patients will be randomized to receive either a QIP block with local anesthetic or a sham block with saline. The primary outcome is 24-hour opioid consumption. Secondary outcomes include motor block, dermatomal sensory assessment, pain scores, rescue analgesic requirement, quality of recovery (QoR-15), and opioid-related side effects.
