Clinical Trial Summary

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.

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.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	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	6th hour
Secondary	paracetamol consumption	the total number of paracetamol requirements in the first 24 hours in all patients	24 hours
