Analgesic consumption
Analgesic consumption at postoperative 6, 12, 48, 72 hours
Resting pain numeric rating scale(NRS)
Resting pain numeric rating scale(NRS) at postoperative 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours.
Numeric rating scale of pain during movement
Numeric rating scale of pain during movement at postoperative 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours
Time to first rescue analgesics
Time to first rescue analgesics
Rescue analgesics administration
Rescue analgesics administration count
The incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting
The incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting
Patient satisfaction with pain control
Patient satisfaction with pain control in 11 point scale (0-10), The higher the score, the higher the patient's satisfaction
Quality of Recovery Questionnaire (15-item Quality of Recovery)
Each item uses an 11-point numeric rating scale. The sum of the scores of the 15 items ranges from 0 to 150, with a high score indicating good quality of recovery.

Numeric rating scale at post anesthetic care unit (PACU)
Numeric rating scale at post anesthetic care unit. Numeric rating scare is 11-point scale from 0 to 10. The higher the number, the more severe the pain (0 is no pain at all, 10 is the most severe pain imaginable).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study aims to assess whether transmusculr quadratus lomborum block (QL block) can reduce postoperative pain after cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy (CRS and HIPEC). Patients will be randomly assigned to either QL block group or control group. Ultrasound-guided bilateral transmuscular quadratus lomborum block will be performed in QL block group using 0.375% ropivacaine. Multimodal analgesic regimen including acetaminophen, nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and rescue opioids will be used in every patient. Primary outcome is opioid consumption for 24 hours after surgery. Secondary outcomes included pain scores, time to first rescue analgesics, quality of recovery score, length of hospital stay.
Detailed Description
Adult patients scheduled to undergo cytoreductive surgery and hyperthermic intra-peritoneal chemotherapy will be screened for eligibility. After induction of general anesthesia, ultrasound-guided bilateral transmuscular quadratus lomborum block will be done in QL block group. 0.375% ropivacaine will be injected to each side. Patients in control group will receive no block. Multimodal analgesia will be applied to every patient for postoperative pain control. Multimodal analgesic regimen included scheduled administration of acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and rescue opioids. Blinded investigator will assess pain scores at rest and on movement at 6, 12, 24, 48, 72 hours after surgery, analgesic consumptions, nausea, vomiting, and quality of recovery questionnaire.
