Design outcomes

Primary

The primary study endpoint will be success rate of surgical blockade, meaning that no general anaesthesia and additional analgesic drugs are required during surgery. Blockade is defined as successful if the skin incision does not evoke movement of the child and if the hemodynamics remaine stable during the surgical procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary endpoints include the amount of additional analgesics during and after the surgical procedure.
