Postoperative Pain
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients who were operated by Department of Pediatric Surgery and who received sacral erector spinae plane blocks as a part of postoperative analgesia management will be scanned.
Detailed description
Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique in pediatric patients and can be performed at any level of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae. In addition, ESPB can be performed at the sacral region in the midline. In pediatric patients, sacral ESPB provides effective analgesia and this method can replace caudal blocks. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of sacral ESPB retrospectively. Demographical data of the patient, indication/surgery type, total volume applied, additional analgesic use, type of the analgesic if used will be investigated.
Interventions
PROCEDURESacral ESPB
Erector spinae plane block performed with 0,25% bupivacaine (1 mL/kg-max 20mL), under general anesthesia before the start of the surgery.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) Scale | Postoperative 24th hour. | The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain (meaning a better outcome). The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2. |
| Rescue analgesic-paracetamol | During the postoperative 24th hour. | The need and amount of the IV paracetamol given |
| Rescue analgesic-ibuprofen | During the postoperative 24th hour. | The need and amount of the oral ibuprofen given |
