The quadratus lumborum block (QLB) is a newly described block providing successful, safe, and long-lasting analgesia with the guidance of ultrasound. The QLB allows local anesthetic to spread posterior to the quadratus lumborum muscle and expand beyond the middle layer of the thoracolumbar fascia and paravertebral space. We present our experience with the use of an unilateral QLB to provide postoperative analgesia in a 3-year-old pediatric patient weighing 14 kg who underwent a unilateral…

Efficacy of Quadratus Lumborum Block in Children with Laparoscopic-Assisted Pyeloplasty
TLDR
According to the present study results, QLB provides a longer and more effective postoperative analgesia than WI in pediatric patients who have undergone laparoscopic-assisted pyeloplasty.
Analgesic sparing effect of dexamethasone with levobupivacaine in quadratus lumborum block in patients undergoing unilateral inguinal hernia repair: A prospective randomised controlled trial
TLDR
The addition of dexamethasone to levobupivacaine in QLB results in prolonged duration of postoperative analgesia, less rescue analgesic requirements and better quality of analgesia as compared to levOBupivicaine in unilateral inguinal hernia repair surgery.
Ultrasound in paediatric anaesthesia – A comprehensive review
TLDR
The use of ultrasound as an adjunct for regional anaesthesia, vascular access, airway management, bedside cardiac, pulmonary and abdominal imaging and intracranial pressure monitoring is explored.

TLDR
