Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate how sacral erector spinae block changed the postoperative analgesia requirements in pediatric patients undergoing rectal biopsies under general anesthesia.

Detailed description

Rectal biopsies in pediatric patients are performed under general anesthesia to obtain adequate tissue samples and optimize for patient comfort, well-being and safety. Post-operative pain can persist for longer than a day and requires analgesics. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of sacral erector spinae block in decreasing post-operative pain scores and analgesic requirements.

Conditions

• Analgesia
• Pain, Acute

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Sacral Erector Spinae Plane Block	Ultrasound-guided bilateral injection of 1ml/kg 0.25% bupivacaine into the plane underneath the erector spinae muscles over sacral crests. The needle is inserted with in-plane technique from cranial to caudal direction over S3-4.
