Patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy suffer from acute postoperative pain, despite a multimodal analgesic regime. This is a randomised controlled trial efficay of the Quadratus Lumborum (QL) Block in terms of analgesic efficacy in patients who undergo laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Interventions

DRUGTramadol

400 mg tramadol, IV 4 mg/ mL tramadol solution into 100 mL normal saline; PCA settings: 0.3 mg/kg bolus, 10 mg Demand dose and 20 min lock out interval, six-hour limit infusion to attain 100 mg. Maximum daily dose was set at 400 mg.
