The comparative effectiveness of quadratus lumborum blocks and paravertebral blocks in radical cystectomy patients.

CONCLUSIONS: There were no differences in opioid consumption among patients receiving bilateral single shot quadratus lumborum blocks and bilateral continuous paravertebral blocks after radical cystectomy. These data suggest that the quadratus lumborum block is a viable alternative for delivering multimodal analgesia in cystectomy patients. PMID: 29680003 [PubMed - in process]
