Abstract

Background & Aim: Caudal block has proven its efficacy in post operative pain management. 
We have compared ultrasound guided (US)erector spinae block (ESB) with caudal block (CB)for 
control of postoperative pain in pediatric lower limb orthopedic surgeries.
Material and methods: This study was conducted among 44 children posted for lower limb 
orthopedic surgeries. All the children were divided into two equal groups of 22 each. Both caudal 
block group and erector spinae plane block group received 0.25% bupivacaine (0.5 ml/Kg) each.
Both US guided blocks were given after administration of anesthesia and before surgery.
