January 10, 2020 updated by: Bakirkoy Dr. Sadi Konuk Research and Training Hospital

Transversus Abdominis Plane Block Versus Quadratus Lumborum Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Pediatric Patients; a Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

In the pediatric age group, postoperative pain is very important for the children to have a comfortable and problem-free postoperative period.

In the present study, it was aimed to compare the postoperative analgesic efficacy of Transversus abdominis plane (TAP) Block, and quadratus lumborum block (QLB) Type 1 on the pediatric patients

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: TAP Block
Cases were assessed transversus abdominis plane block for postoperative analgesia
Drug: Tramadol hydrochloride
The Wong-Baker facial pain scale was used to assess pain (1: no pain, 10: worst possible pain). During monitoring patients with pain score ≥3 had intravenous 1 mg/kg tramadol hydrochloride administered, After 15 minutes following tramadol injection, cases with pain score continuing ≥3 were to be assessed as insufficient analgesia and had 0.1 mg/kg morphine hydrochloride planned for intravenous administration
Other Names:
  • morphine hydrochloride
Experimental: QL Block
Cases were assessed quadratus lumborum block for postoperative analgesia
Drug: Tramadol hydrochloride
The Wong-Baker facial pain scale was used to assess pain (1: no pain, 10: worst possible pain).
