NCT06312904

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare the effect of paravertebral block and local infiltration anesthesia on postoperative analgesia in children undergoing lateral incision cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The researchers hope to investigate whether children who undergo paravertebral block experience less postoperative pain, have fewer postoperative complications, and recover more quickly.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • opioid consumption during the first 24h after surgery

    the total amount of sufentanil and other opioids will be calculated as morphine equivalent dose (MED) divided by body weight

    24 hours postoperatively

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • FPS-R scale recorded at 6, 12, 18 and 24h postoperatively

    24 hours postoperatively

  • The rate of opioid treatment for remedial analgesia between groups

    24 hours postoperatively

Other Outcomes (4)

  • Length of postoperative mechanical ventilation

    through study completion, an average of 2 weeks

  • Length of ICU/hospital stay

    through study completion, an average of 2 weeks

  • The incidence of respiratory depression

    through study completion, an average of 2 weeks

  • +1 more other outcomes

Study Arms (2)

paravertebral block group

EXPERIMENTAL

This group of patients will undergo postoperative paravertebral block.

Procedure: paravertebral block

local infiltration group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

This group of patients will undergo postoperative local infiltration anesthesia.

Procedure: Local infiltration anesthesia

Interventions

After cardiac surgery, the anesthesiologist will use 3mg/kg of 0.375% ropivacaine to conduct paravertebral block.
