Official title: Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Pediatric Patients; a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

In the pediatric age group, postoperative pain is very important for the children to have a comfortable and problem-free postoperative period.

In the present study, it was aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) Block, and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) Type 1 on the pediatric patients

Read the detailed description

Patients included in the study were randomly divided into 2 groups. Cases were assessed ultrasonography-guided TAP block (Group B, n=20) or ultrasonography-guided QL Block. Total analgesic amounts in 24 hours and first analgesic requirement times recorded.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Tramadol hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called morphine hydrochloride

    The Wong-Baker facial pain scale was used to assess pain (1: no pain, 10: worst possible pain). During monitoring patients with pain score ≥3 had intravenous 1 mg/kg tramadol hydrochloride administered, After 15 minutes following tramadol injection, cases with pain score continuing ≥3 were to be assessed as insufficient analgesia and had 0.1 mg/kg morphine hydrochloride planned for intravenous administration
