Comparison of Erector Spinae Plane Block and Caudal Block for Postoperative Analgesia in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Orchiopexy: A Prospective Observational Study

This study aims to compare the analgesic efficacy of ultrasound-guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block for postoperative pain management in pediatric patients undergoing orchiopexy. Postoperative pain scores, time to first rescue analgesic requirement, total analgesic consumption, and block-related adverse effects will be evaluated during the first 24 hours after surgery. The study will assess whether erector spinae plane block provides effective postoperative analgesia comparable to or superior to caudal block in pediatric orchiopexy.

Comparison of the Effect of Body Position (Supine and Semi-Fowler's) on Pain Level During Invasive Procedures in Children Aged 1-6 Years

The purpose of this clinical trial is to find out whether different body positions (lying on the back or semi-sitting) can reduce pain in children aged 1-6 years during procedures such as blood sampling and intravenous line insertion. This study will be conducted specifically with children aged 1-6 years and aims to determine which position is less painful for them. The main questions this study aims to answer are: Which position causes less pain: lying on the back (supine) or semi-sitting (Semi-Fowler's)? Does the level of pain experienced by children during the procedure change depending on the position? The researchers will compare children in these two different positions to evaluate which one results in less pain. What is expected from participants: Children will undergo routine hospital procedures such as blood sampling or intravenous line insertion. During the procedure, children will be randomly placed in either the supine or semi-sitting position. Researchers will observe and record the child's pain level using a special assessment scale. This study aims to identify the most suitable position that may help children feel less pain during these procedures.
