Study Overview

Brief Summary

Upper abdominal surgeries are very commonly done surgical procedure in pediatric population. Perioperative pain management in major abdominal surgeries remain a challenge. Adequate pain control reduces postoperative respiratory dysfunction and promote early mobilisation. Among the various nerve blocks available, ESP and mTAPA block are relatively newer regional anaesthetic technique.
