Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block supported by intravenous ketamine sedation in children on intraoperative anesthesia and analgesia.

Method: A total of 60 patients aged between 2 and 6 years, were included in the study. The patients were divided in three groups; the TAP block and ketamine group; the TAP block by inserting the laryngeal mask(LMA) and sevoflurane grup; and the LMA and sevoflurane group. Peroperative heart rates(HR), mean arterial pressures(MAP), amount of sevoflurane used, postoperative pain scores, number of children needing rescue analgesia, time required for the first analgesia were recorded.
Results: Of the patients average age was 4 ± 1.1. There was no difference between the two block groups, in terms of HR and MAP; HR were higher and MAP were lower in the only sevoflurane group. In the group supported by a TAP block, the amount of sevoflurane used decreased(p<005). In the postoperative period, the HR, MAP and pain scores were higher in the only sevoflurane group(p <0,05). Rescue analgesia was applied to less number of patients in the groups with added block. There were longer analgesia durations in the block-supported groups(p<0.05). 
Conclusion: In this study, it was determined that TAP block added to general anesthesia or sedation in pediatric lower abdominal surgery reduced the need for intraoperative anesthesia, provided a more stable intraoperative hemodynamics and analgesia, and provided less pain scores, longer analgesia duration and less analgesia need in the postoperative period.

Çocuklarda ultrason eşliğinde transversus abdominis plane bloğun intraoperatif anesteziye katkısı- randomize kontrollü çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı,çocuklarda intravenöz ketamin sedasyonuyla
desteklenen transversus abdominis plane(TAP) bloğun intraoperatif anesteziye ve
analjeziye katkısını araştırmaktır.

Yöntem: 2-6
yaş arası toplam 60 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Hastalar 3 gruba ayrıldı;
TAP blok ve ketamin grubu; larıngeal maske takılarak
(LMA)  TAP blok yapılan
ve sevofluran grubu
; LMA ve sevofluran grubu. Peroperatif kalp hızları(KH), ortalama arter basınçları(OAB),
kullanılan sevofluran miktarı, postoperatif ağrı skorları, kurtarma
analjezisine ihtiyaç olan çocuk sayısı, ilk analjeziye ihtiyaç duyulan zaman
kaydedildi.

 

Bulgular: Hastaların yaş
ortalaması 4±1,1 idi. İki blok grup arasında KH ve OAB açısından fark yoktu;
sadece sevofluran grubunda KH daha yüksek ve OAB daha düşüktü. TAP bloğu
tarafından desteklenen grupta, kullanılan sevofluran miktarı azalmıştı(p
<005). Postoperatif dönemde sadece sevofluran grubunda KH, OAB ve ağrı
skorları daha yüksek bulundu(p <0,05). Blok eklenen gruplarda daha az sayıda
hastaya kurtarma analjezi uygulandı. Blok destekli gruplarda daha uzun analjezi
süreleri vardı(p <0.05).









Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile, pediatrik alt batın
cerrahisinde, genel anestezi ya da sedasyona eklenen TAP bloğun, intraoperatif
anestezi ihtiyacını azalttığı, daha stabil intraoperatif  hemodinami ve analjezi sağladığı,
postoperatif dönemde ise daha düşük ağrı skorları, daha uzun analjezi süresi ve
daha az analjezi ihtiyacı sağladığı saptanmıştır.
