Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: The patients excluded from this work were those who underwent emergency surgery; who reported allergy to local anesthetics (both ropivacaine and bupivacaine); who presented local skin infection where both spinal anesthesia and lumbar plexus block should be punctured were excluded from this study; severe coagulation disorder or use of anticoagulants not paused for adequate time; who had pathologies that prevented the positioning for performing lumbar plexus block or spinal anesthesia; who had neurological symptoms present at the site of innervation related to the lumbar plexus; who had hemodynamic instability; , defined in the study as systolic blood pressure less than 90 mmHg, heart rate greater than 110 beats per minute or need for vasoactive drugs; those who had intracranial hypertension or who were in the presence of sepsis
Design outcomes
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Nausea and vomiting were found in greater quantity in the control group in the T4 period (p=0.068).;The respiratory rate was similar in both groups, but the pulse oximetry value was lower in the control group also in the T4 period (p=0.007).;The level of difficulty in performing lumbar plexus block increased as the patient's BMI and abdominal circumference increased: every 2.2 units of increase in BMI was able to modify the level of difficulty in performing the plexus block lumbar spine, as well as each 9 cm increase in abdominal circumference was also.;The absence of complications in the sample of patients undergoing the blockade technique shows a good level of safety of the method if safety measures are followed, such as the use of ultrasound and peripheral nerve stimulator. | — |

| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pain levels assessed at all times were higher in the case group, except at time T4 (24 hours after anesthesia), in which there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p=0.039).;The cumulative dose of tramadol at all evaluation times was the same in both groups (77.8 mg), ranging from 0-200 mg in the first group (SD 40.90) and 0-300 mg in the second (SD 69 .09). | — |
