Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernioplasty and compare it to the ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block.Outcome will be assessed at 2,4,6,8,12,24 and 48 hours postoperatively.Timepoint: To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia in inguinal hernioplasty and compare it to the ultrasound guided transversus abdominis plane block from november 2016 to november 2017. Outcome will be assessed at 2,4,6,8,12,24 and 48 hours postoperatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the readiness for discharge of these patients using postanesthesia discharge scoring system at 24hrs and 48hrs postoperatively.Timepoint: november 2016 to november 2017. Patients will be assessed 24 and 48 hours postoperatively.
