Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Neonates with abdominal surgery and quadratus lumborum block
0-6 months children with abdominal surgery. After standard induction of general anesthesia, patients will receive 0.5 ml/kg of ropivacaine (2 mg/ml) in a quadratus lumborum block. Ultrasonography will be used to guide the injection. In the postoperative period, pain scores and analgesics consumption will be recorded until the 48th hour post surgery.
Standard general anesthesia
Guided by ultrasonography, injection of 0.5 ml/kg of ropivacaine (2 mg/ml) between the quadratus lumborum muscle and the internal oblique muscle, before skin incision
