The minimum effective concentration (MEC90) of ropivacaine for ultrasound-guided quadratus lumborum block for analgesia after cesarean delivery: a dose finding study.

Abstract

Quadratus lumborum block was recently proposed as an alternative technique for post-cesarean delivery analgesia. However, there is not a definite optimum concentration of local anesthetics. A biased coin design up-and-down method was used to explore the minimum effective concentration of ropivacaine in quadratus lumborum block for satisfactory analgesia after cesarean delivery.
