Comparing Analgesic Effects of Three Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthetic

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study evaluates analgesic effects of ultrasound-guided (USG) regional anesthetic techniques; caudal block , transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) by comparing postoperative pain scores [ Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolabilty(FLACC) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)], first analgesic requirement time and total analgesic consumption in pediatrics undergoing lower abdominal surgery. We also aim to observe the side effects of these techniques such as nausea, vomiting, bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory depression.

Clinical Trial Description

Lower abdominal surgeries affect dermatomes T10-L1 and blocking these nerve roots provides effective postoperative analgesia. Neuroaxial blocks such as epidural and caudal blocks is considered the gold standart regional technique for pain management after lower abdominal surgery, blocking both somatic and visceral pain. Nowadays,US is increasingly used to perform caudal block, demostrating cannule placement and precise deposition of local anesthetic in the epidural space. On the other side truncal blocks as US-guided TAP block covers T10-L1 dermatomes and provides postoperative pain relief after lower abdominal surgery with lower complication rate rather than caudal block but it may not prevent traction on the peritoneal sac. QLB is rather a new regional technique blocking nerve roots close to paravertebral area affecting somatic and visceral nerve fibers. In our study we aim to compare postoperative analgesic effects of these three techniques in paediatrics. Our primary outcomes are pain scores(FLACC/VAS) and first additional analgesic requirement time. Secondary outcomes are total analgesic consumption, side effects (nausea, vomiting, itching, urinary retention, bradycardia, hypotension, respiratory depression), length of hospitalization and chronic pain due to incision after 2 months. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
