TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title ultrasound guided rectus sheath block for post operative pain in pediatric
Official scientific title comparative study between caudal block and ultra-sound guided rectus sheath block for post operative analgesia in pediatric patients undergoing umbilical hernia repair.
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial 60 patients undergoing elective umbilical hernia repair were allocated randomly into two groups: U/S-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) (group A) and caudal block (CB) (group B). All patients received the same general anesthetic technique. In A group, bilateral U/S-guided RSB was performed using 0.25%bupivacaine 0.25 ml/kg. In B group, CB was performed using 0.25% bupivacaine 1 ml/kg. Postoperative analgesia using a modified Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario Pain Scale (CHEOPS) and total amount of Post-operative paracetamol requirement as rescue analgesia were recorded.
