- NCT02567487
- Lead Sponsor
- Ankara University
- Brief Summary
The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of two different doses of levobupivacaine in TAP (transversus abdominus plane) block for postoperative management. For this purpose we planned to include 50 children aged between 2 and 12 that will undergo unilateral inguinal surgery.
The doses that will be used in the study were within usual dose limits which is stated in prospectus of the study drug.
- Detailed Description
Fifty children undergoing TAP block were randomly divided into two groups as levobupivacaine 0.25% 0.5 ml/kg and levobupivacaine 0.25% 0.25 ml/kg. Postoperative pain was evaluated with observational pain scale and modified pediatric objective pain scale.
