The supine coronal midaxillary approach to anterior quadratus lumborum block: case report

Transmuscular quadratus lumborum block (QLB) in supine position for abdominal surgeries

“…Anterior QL block in supine position has been reported earlier; however, the specifications of sonoanatomy and challenges faced in supine position are not highlighted. [ 3 4 ] We wish to highlight the pros and cons of administering the anterior QLB in supine position.…”

“…Although performing the block with probe in coronal longitudinal orientation is mentioned in literature, it may be technically challenging to maintain/anchor the probe in this position. [ 3 ] Additionally certainty in achieving drug spread more medially between the anterior aspect of the QL muscle and the Psoas may not be consistent in coronal longitudinal position of the probe. This may cause drug spread more lateral as there is difficulty in identifying anterior aspect of QL.…”

Eight years and already a classic: marking the rise of ultrasound‐guided fascial plane blocks for chest wall surgery

“…He completed his medical training in the UK and went on to found the London Society of Regional Anaesthesia. Dr Blanco has published extensively; however, some of his most notable contributions include descriptions of PECS-1 and PECS-2 blocks, anterior ultrasound-guided pudendal block, and supine coronal midaxillary approach to anterior quadratus lumborum block [2][3][4][5].…”

Quadratus lumborum block in supine position for postoperative pain management in acetabular fracture surgeries: cadaveric and clinical experience

“…We read with interest the case report by Sandeep Diwan et al on supine coronal midaxillary approach to anterior quadratus lumborum block (SCAQLB). 1 Acetabular fractures are usually painful medical conditions. Positioning the patient for regional anesthesia is challenging due to the localization of the fracture and severe pain.…”
