TRIAL DESCRIPTION
Public title Comparison of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and ilioinguinal-ilihypogastric block for postoperative analgesia in paediatric inguinal hernia repair
Official scientific title Comparison of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and ilioinguinal-ilihypogastric block for postoperative analgesia in paediatric inguinal hernia repair: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Brief summary describing the background and objectives of the trial Erector spinae plane (ESP) block is a promising technique in the field of pediatric postoperative analgesia. We aim to assess whether ultrasound-guided ESP would provide comparable postoperative analgesia to ilioinguinal-iliohypogastric nerve block in pediatric unilateral inguinal hernia surgery.

INTERVENTIONS
Intervention type Intervention name Dose Duration Intervention description Group size Nature of control
Experimental Group Erector spinae plane block 0.5 ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine Just after receiving general anesthesia for 24 h postoperatively With the patient in lateral decubitus position (side to puncture positioned at the top), the transverse processes of L2 vertebrae and erector spinae (ES) fascia are visualized in a parasagittal plane 1-2 cm from the posterior midline using a linear ultrasound probe. A 22G peripheral block needle is introduced with in-plane technique under the erector spinae muscle and local anesthetic solution (0.5 ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine) is injected after a test injection with 0.5 ml of 0.9% NaCl solution to visualize opening of ESP. 40
Control Group ilioinguinal iliohypogastric nerve block 0.5 ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine Just after receiving general anesthesia and for 24 h postoperatively Following aseptic preparation of the skin and probe, the US probe was placed immediately medial and slightly cephalic to the upper aspect of the anterior superior iliac spine to get a short-axis view of the nerves situated between the internal oblique (IO) and transversus abdominis (TA) muscles. Using an in-plane technique, the needle was advanced till interface between the IO and TA muscle. under real-time visualization, we track the solution surrounding of the two hypoechoic ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerves. 42 Active-Treatment of Control Group

OUTCOMES
Type of outcome Outcome Timepoint(s) at which outcome measured
Primary Outcome Comparison of postoperative age appropriate numerical pain score (Facial expression, Leg activity, Crying and Consolability scale or simple numerical rating score) at 2 h. 2h postoperative period
Secondary Outcome intraoperative sufentanil use, numerical pain score at various intervals in the first 24h and time to first postoperative supplementary analgesic dose, the total postoperative paracetamol consumption, the amount of rescue morphine use per weight, and parental satisfaction (0–10, 0 = very unsatisfied with the pain relief, 10 = very satisfied with the pain relief), and adverse effects such as nausea/vomiting Different intervals in the first 24h for pain score, parental satisfaction at discharge.
