Despite its high analgesic potential, its mechanism of action is not yet fully understood. The ultrasound-guided ESP block, which can be easily performed, makes important contributions to the control of intraoperative pain in pediatric patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The follow-up of pain in the intraoperative period is usually done by evaluating the changes in hemodynamic parameters. Due to physiological differences in pediatric patients, it is more difficult to do this with only hemodynamic changes than in adult patients.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The NOL\u00ae\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">(Nociception Level)<\/jats:italic>\n                      monitor calculates the nociception\/pain score by evaluating many parameters through a proprietary algorithm.
