- Brief Summary
Adequate postoperative pain assessment in pediatric patients may significantly improve their comfort and quality of life. ESP block is an emergency regional anaesthetic technique with significant potential and clinical benefit. ESP block provides visceral as well as somatic analgesia, relieves acute as well as chronic pain and can be utilized for analgesia at cervical, thoracic and abdominal levels with minimal side effects. ESPB have opioid sparing effect in pediatric patients, even in major surgeries. Dexmedetomidine has been shown to increase the duration of postop analgesia when used as an adjuvant in various nerve blocks in pediatric patients. In addition, dexmedetomidine provides a stable hemodynamic parameters and reduces the incidence of emergence delirium in pediatric patients. Available literature highlights the utility of Dexmedetomidine in terms of better analgesia and hemodynamic parameters when used as an adjuvant with ESPB in adults. The present study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of Dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant to Ropivacaine in bilateral ESP block in pediatric abdominal surgeries.
