Erector Spinae Plane Block for Peri-operative Pain Management in Pediatric Open Pyeloplasty Cases

• Status: Unknown status
• Trial end date: 2019-09-25
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Regional anesthesia decreases the need for intravenous analgesia in the peri-operative period. Erector spinae plane (ESP) and transversus abdominus plane (TAP) blocks are two common regional anesthesia techniques shown to be effective in open abdominal surgeries. We aim to compare effectiveness of ESP block with TAP block for peri-operative analgesia in pediatric open pyeloplasty patients with a flank incision.
