Prospective randomized clinical trial compares pain management techniques in pediatric patients, suggesting quicker alternatives.
ESPB was not found to be more effective than thoracic PVB for postoperative pain management in children undergoing PCNL procedure. Moreover, intraoperative hemodynamics and maximum sevoflurane concentration were comparable. The time to conduct ESPB was significantly shorter; hence, it could be considered as an easy alternative to thoracic PVB for this procedure.
