Overview
Brief Summary
we aimed to compare the effects of TAPB and QLB on postoperative pain score and analgesic consumption in infants who underwent unilateral inguinal hernia surgery.
Detailed Description
Infants are more sensitive to the side effects of general anesthesia than older children. This may be associated with the incomplete maturation of organ systems effective in pharmacodynamics. Regional anesthesia applications provide safe and effective analgesia by reducing the need for opioids. Regional anesthesia applications in infants require experience and complication rates due to central blocks are high. However, in recent years, the use of ultrasound (USG) has increased the use of safe and effective trunk blocks. There are studies on the use of Transversus Abdominis Plan Block (TAPB) and Quadratus Lumborum Block (QLB) in children. However, there is no comparative study on its use in infants. In our study, we aimed to compare the effects of TAPB and QLB on postoperative pain score and analgesic consumption in infants who underwent unilateral inguinal hernia surgery.
