Summary
This study tested two ways to manage pain in 70 children undergoing chest surgery. One method, the erector spinae plane block, was compared to the standard epidural block. The goal was to see which provides better pain relief and keeps the heart rate and blood pressure more stable. The erector spinae block uses a numbing medicine injected near the back muscles, while the epidural is injected near the spine.
