Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of three regional anesthesia techniques—ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block, quadratus lumborum (QL) block, and caudal epidural block—on pain management for pediatric patients undergoing elective lower abdominal surgery.
- Ninety-four patients aged 6 months to 14 years were randomly assigned to one of the three anesthesia methods, receiving bupivacaine for pain relief.
- Results showed that the QL block provided better postoperative pain control with lower Pediatric Objective Pain Scale scores and shorter hospital stays compared to the caudal block, making it a recommended option for pediatric perioperative analgesia if resources allow.
