Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ultrasound guided caudal block  A high frequency linear ultrasound will be placed transversely at the midline to obtain a transverse view of the 2 cornua, the sacrococcygeal ligament, sacral bone and sacral hiatus. At the visualization of the frog sign, the ultrasound transducer will be twisted to 90 degrees to obtain longitudinal views of the sacrococcygeal ligament and sacral hiatus, and a 22G 5 cm long stimuplex needle will be inserted into the sacral canal under direct in plane visualization. Then 0.25% bupivacaine 0.5ml/kg will be injected slowly (maximum 2mg/kg). 
Intervention  Ultrasound guided erector spinae muscle block  After identifying the erector spinae muscles and transverse process of the T10 vertebra with a high frequency linear ultrasound transducer, a needle will be inserted with an in-plane technique in the craniocaudal direction. Then a total of 0.25% bupivacaine will be administered between the 10th transverse process and erector spinae muscles using a 22 G, 5 cm long stimuplex needle.

Brief Summary   This study is a prospective comparative study to compare ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block using 0.5ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine and caudal block using 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine for postoperative analgesia in paediatric patients undergoing infraumbilical surgery that will be conducted in Vardhman Mahavir Medical College and Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi. The primary outcome will be to compare the postoperative analgesia by FLACC score at 1 hour in paediatric patients undergoing infraumbilical surgery receiving ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block and caudal block. The secondary outcomes will be to compare the FLACC score at 0,2,4,6,12 and 24 hours postoperatively, time to first rescue analgesic request, total analgesic requirement in the first 24 hours postoperatively and intraoperative analgesic requirement.
