NCT05755334

Brief Summary

The primary aim is to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of either technique by measuring cumulative morphine consumption in the first 24 hours after an erector spinae plane block with 2 ml/kg of ropivacaine 0.1% (2 ml/kg) or 1 ml/kg of ropivacaine 0.2%. The secondary aim of this study is to describe the pharmacokinetics of ropivacaine 0.1% and ropivacaine 0.2% after erector spinae block in children undergoing posterior spinal fusion.
