Measuring bupivacaine in blood after numbing shots in children
This study measures how much of the numbing medicine bupivacaine gets into the blood of children after it is injected near the groin for hernia surgery. It helps doctors understand the safety of the dose.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is having planned (not emergency) inguinal hernia surgery.
- Your child is between 1 and 6 years old.
- Your child is generally healthy (ASA I or II, meaning no serious health problems).
- You and your child agree to join the study.
- The surgery will be done through the planned small cut in the groin area.

This trial tests a long-lasting numbing medicine (bupivacaine liposome injection) given during surgery to help control pain in children. It may reduce the need for other painkillers after orthopedic surgery.
This study compares two types of numbing shots (caudal block and quadratus lumborum block) for children having lower belly surgery to see which one controls pain better. Your child would be in one of two groups and pain levels would be watched closely.
This study measures how a pain-relief medication (levobupivacaine) enters and moves through your bloodstream after you receive a nerve block injection during planned abdominal surgery. The findings may help doctors understand the best way to use this medication for pain control.
This trial checks if a simple monitor reading (peripheral perfusion index) can help doctors know if a numbing shot (caudal block) will work well for children having belly or pelvic surgery. It may lead to better pain control during and after surgery.
