- Title
Effect of anterior quadratus lumborum block on morphine consumption in minimally invasive colorectal surgery.
- Authors
O'Sullivan, E.; Lavelle, A.
- Abstract
The article discusses a study on the anterior quadratus lumborum block technique in minimally invasive colorectal surgery. The authors raise ethical concerns about the use of an invasive procedure with a saline control group, as it carries potential risks to patients without benefit. They suggest alternative control group designs that provide robust evidence without exposing patients to harm. The authors also question the efficacy of the block compared to previous studies and express concerns about the safety of fixed doses of local anesthetic, which may exceed recommended maximum safe doses.
