Brief summary
The hypothesis is that the patients who received a paravertebral block during surgery is in less need for additional opioids both peri and postoperatively. We are also investigating if there are differences between length of stay on the ventilator, at the Pediatric Intensive unit as well as at the hospital between those who received a paravertebral block as opposed to those who did not.
