Indications of Erector Spinae Plane Block in Pediatric Patients

Completed

• Conditions: Postoperative Pain

• Registration Number: NCT03906019
• Lead Sponsor: Kocaeli University

Brief Summary

Patients who were operated by Department of Pediatric Surgery between the 1 September 2017 and 28 February 2019 and who received erector spinae plane blocks as a part of postoperative analgesia management will be scanned.

Detailed Description

There are a few randomized prospective studies of ESPB for its clinical effectiveness and all of them are in adults, except one. Also pediatric case reports are limited when compared to adults. We have been applying ESPB to our patients almost since from its first definition. But ESPB applications for pediatric patients, in our clinic, have started after a learning curve. Patients who were operated by Department of Pediatric Surgery between the 1 September 2017 and 28 February 2019 and who received erector spinae plane blocks as a part of postoperative analgesia management will be scanned.

Demographical data of the patient, patient position for the block, indication/surgery type, level of ESPB, unilateral or bilateral application, total volume applied, additional analgesic use, type of the analgesic if used will be investigated.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Numeric Rating Scale	preoperative 24th hour	A NRS involves asking the patient to rate his or her pain from 0 to 10 (11 point scale) with the understanding that 0 is equal to no pain and 10 is equal to worst possible pain.
Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability Score	postoperative 24th hour	The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.
