About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Effect of Ultrasonographic Guided Erector Spina Plan Block Application on Postoperative Analgesia in Infants Undergoing Laparotomy

In this study, we aimed to evaluate the erector spina plane (ESP) block method that we used in our clinic with ultrasonography in pediatric cases between 1 month and 2 years of age who underwent laparotomy.

Read the detailed description

36 patients who will undergo laparotomy between the ages of 1 month and 2 years in ASA ( American Society of Anesthesiologists) I-II class will be included in the study. patients will be divided into 2 groups. Intraoperative erector spina plane block will be applied to the 1st group (group E) and intraoperative local anesthetic infiltration will be applied to the 2nd group (group L). Postoperative pain will be evaluated with the FLACC (face, legs, activity, crying, consolation) scale.

Study groups in NCT04875390
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
group EOtherIntraoperative Erector spina plane block ( 0.3 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25% at thoracic level 7 and 0.3 ml/kg bupivacaine 0.25% bupivacaine at thoracic level 11, totaling 0.6 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine) will be performed after the surgery is completed.

group LOtherIntraoperative local infiltration (0.6 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine will be given to the wound lips at the end of the surgery.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the 6th hour pediatric pain scale, face ,legs , activity; cry;consolability (FLACC)

    FLACC : Each of the five categories (F)face; (L)legs; (A)activity; (C)cry; (C)consolability is scored from 0-2 which results in a total score between 0 and 10. 0:relaxed and comfortable, 1-3: mild discomfortable, 4-6: moderate pain, 7-10: severe pain

    Measured: 6th hour

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. paracetamol consumption

    the total number of paracetamol requirements in the first 24 hours in all patients

    Measured: 24 hours
