Summary

This study will compare two pain-relief methods—quadratus lumborum block (QLB) and transversus abdominis plane block (TAP)—in 20 children aged 1-6 years having inguinal hernia surgery. The goal is to measure how much of the numbing drug bupivacaine gets into the blood and how well each method controls pain. The researchers hope to show that QLB provides better pain relief with lower drug levels in the blood, reducing the risk of side effects.
