Uso del bloqueo de cuadrado lumbar y bloqueo del plano transverso abdominal dentro de la analgesia multimodal en pacientes caninos vs pacientes con analgesia estándar.

Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of quadratus lumborum block and transversus abdominis plane block was evaluated in comparison to standard analgesia for managing postoperative pain in canines undergoing abdominal surgeries. An experimental study was conducted with a total of 100 patients divided into two groups of 50 each: one group received regional blocks, while the other used conventional analgesia. Variables such as pain intensity, postoperative recovery, and overall well-being were analyzed. The results demonstrated that regional blocks were effective in controlling postoperative pain, with 96 % of patients experiencing mild pain according to the modified Glasgow scale. It is concluded that quadratus lumborum and transversus abdominis plane blocks represent a safe and effective alternative to optimize analgesic protocols in veterinary practice, improving postoperative quality of life and reducing complications associated with pain management.
