Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of different kinds of popular peripheral nerve blocks for postoperative analgesia after cesarean delivery is completed, compared with traditional epidual analgesia.

Detailed description

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and morphine consumption was adopted to evaluate the pain relief.

Interventions

PROCEDUREQLB

QLB, quadratus lumborum block.

PROCEDUREIntravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA)

Intravenous patient controlled analgesia (PCA) pump was used to supply additional analgesia and removed 48 h post-operationally.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
the change trend of Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at rest and movement	0-48 hours postoperatively	The purpose is to view the change of the level of pain assessed by subjects at adjacent time points. We would set 0, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 hours postoperatively as observational time points.

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
total morphine consumption	0-48 hours postoperatively	total morphine consumption
complications	0-48 hours postoperatively	nausea, vomiting, retention of urine, lower limb weakness, etc.
