Brief summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to examine the effect of fascia iliaca compartment block on the postoperative pain and opioid consumption in pediatric patients (3y≤ age \<18y) who will undergo orthopedics surgery (proximal femoral osteotomy). Patients will be allocated to either the FICB(Fascia iliaca compartment block + IV PCA) group or the control group (no block + IV PCA). Fascia iliaca compartment block will be performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (1mL/kg, MAX 30mL) under ultrasound-guidance at the end of surgery. The total opioid consumption at 12, and 24 hours after the surgery, and the pain score at 10 min after PACU admin, 1,6,24 hours after the surgery, the total dose of additional rescue analgesia (intravenous ketorolac or nalbuphine) at 12 and 24 hours after the surgery will be recorded.

MeasureTime frameDescription
total opioid consumption at 12 hours after the end of surgeryat 12 hours after the end of surgerytotal opioid consumption at 12 hours after the end of surgery (IV Nalbuphine 1mg = IV Morphine 1mg = IV Fentanyl 10mcg (0.01mg) per kilogram of body weight.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scaleat 10 minutes after the PACU admin, 1hour, 6hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.by Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale: There are 6 faces in the Wong-Baker Pain Scale. The first face represents a pain score of 0, and indicates no hurt. The second face represents a pain score of 2, and indicates hurts a little bit. The third face represents a pain score of 4, and indicates hurts a little more. The fourth face represents a pain score of 6, and indicates hurts even more. The fifth face represents a pain score of 8, and indicates hurts a whole lot; the sixth face represents a pain score of 10, and indicates hurts worst.
Numeric rating scale10 minutes after the PACU admin, 1hour, 6hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.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.
Total additional dose of nalbuphineat 12hours, and 24hours after the end of surgery.Total additional dose of nalbuphine (mg) per kilogram of body weight.
