Featured paper: Quadratus Lumborum Blockade for Postoperative Analgesia in Infants and Children Following Colorectal Surgery

How do you keep kids comfortable after major abdominal surgery without relying on heavy opioids? This episode explores ultrasound-guided Quadratus Lumborum blocks (QLB) for infants and children, a fast, spine-sparing technique delivering near-zero pain scores, 99% success, and no major complications. Hear when QLB outperforms neuraxial anesthesia (tethered cord, anorectal malformations), how the transmuscular “shamrock” approach works, and why it’s becoming the technique of choice for pediatric colorectal procedures.
