Abstract | BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: MATERIAL AND METHODS: Following ethical board approval, 40 children aged between 1-5 years undergoing surgery for congenital hip dysplasia were randomized into two groups. Patients (n = 20) received ultrasound guided quadratus lumborum block (group QLB) using 0.5 mL/kg body weight 0.25% bupivacaine preoperatively. The same standard postoperative analgesia protocol was used in both groups. Pain scores, parental satisfaction, requirement for ibuprofen and opioids were recorded. Pain was measured using the face, legs, activity, crying, consolability (FLACC) scale. RESULTS: The FLACC scores were lower at 30min and 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h, 12h and 24h in the QLB group when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). The requirement for rescue opioid analgesia was statistically significantly higher in the control group when compared to the QLB group (15/20 vs. 3/20, p < 0.001). Rate of ibuprofen usage in the ward was higher in the control group when compared to the QLB group (14/20 vs. 4/20, p = 0.004). Parental satisfaction was higher in the QLB group (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION:
