Brief summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of subcostal transverse abdominis plane block on the postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients (12y≤ age) who will undergo epigastric cardiac pacemaker operation. Patients will be allocated to either the SC TAP(subcostal transverse abdominis plane block) group or the control group (no block). Bilateral subcostal transverse abdominis plane block will be performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (0.5mL/kg for each side, MAX 20mL for each side) under ultrasound-guidance at the end of surgery. The pain score at 10 min after PACU admin, 1, 6, 24 hours after the surgery, the total opioid consumption at 12, and 24 hours after the surgery, the total dose of additional rescue analgesia (intravenous ketololac or nalbuphine) at 12 and 24 hour after the surgery will be recorded.

\- Patients who will undergo epigastric cardiac pacemaker operation. (12≤ years)

Exclusion criteria

* Allergy to opioid * Allergy to local anesthetics * Coagulation disorder * Disease in the central and peripheral nervous system * Significant renal impairment (Creatinine\> 3.0 mg/dl) * Significant hepatic impairment (aspartate transaminase\> 120 unit/L, alanine aminotransferase\> 120 unit/L)

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain score, restingat 10 minutes after the PACU adminPain score at resting is assessed by Numeric rating scale; A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
total opioid consumption at 12, 24 hours after the end of surgeryat 12hours, 24 hours after the end of surgerytotal opioid consumption at 12, 24 hours after the end of surgery (IV Nalbuphine 1mg = IV Morphine 1mg = IV Fentanyl 10mcg (0.01mg)
Total additional dose of acetaminophenat 12hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.Total additional dose of acetaminophen (mg)
Total additional dose of ketorolacat 12hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.Total additional dose of ketorolac (mg)
Pain score, coughingat 1hour, 6hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.Pain score at coughing is assessed by Numeric rating scale : A numerical rating scale (NRS) requires the patient to rate their pain on a defined scale. For example, 0-10 where 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain imaginable.
The incidence of side effects of ropivacaine (percent)within 1 hour after the end of surgeryThe incidence of side effects of ropivacaine: Arrhythmia, Hypotension, ST change, Dizziness, Convulsion
Hospital stay (days)within 14 days after the end of surgeryPostoperative hospital stay (days)
The incidence of side effects of analgesic medications (percent)within 24 hours after the end of surgeryThe incidence of side effects of analgesic medications: Nausea, Vomit, Constipation, Pruritus, Dizziness, Dry mouth, Sedation
