Brief summary

This prospective randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block on pain control after Hickman catheter, chemoport, or Perm cath insertion in children.

Detailed description

Pediatric patients undergoing surgical insertion of a Hickman catheter, chemoport, or Permcath are randomly assigned to a test group (Ultrasound-guided selective supraclavicular nerve block with Ropivacaine) and a control group (Nerve block is not performed). Immediately after induction of general anesthesia, in the test group, the supraclavicular nerve block was selectively performed using ultrasound using 0.1mL/kg of 0.5% Ropivacaine (Maximum dose: 5mL), and the nerve block was not completed in the control group. After that, a Hickman catheter, chemoport, or Permcath is surgically inserted in the usual way and allowed to recover from anesthesia. The pain score is evaluated between 10 and 30 minutes of entering the recovery room (1 hour after the procedure) and 1 hour, 3 hours, and 24 hours after leaving the recovery room by another research team who is unaware of the group assignment. In addition, the use of additional analgesic drugs and related side effects were collected before discharge.

Interventions

DRUGRopivacaine

The nerve involved in the operation of Hickman catheter, chemoport, and Perm cath is the supraclavicular nerve. Therefore, it is judged that if only this nerve is selectively blocked, pain control can be effectively performed with a small amount of local anesthetic, and relatively few side effects occur.

Inclusion criteria

* Pediatric patients receiving Hickman catheter, chemoport, or Perm cath implantation (3 years ≤, \<18 years) * One or more of the parents (or guardians), after hearing and understanding a sufficient explanation about this clinical trial, decides to participate voluntarily and agrees in writing to abide by the precautions * In the case of a study subject aged seven years or older, a person who voluntarily decides to participate in this clinical trial and agrees in writing to abide by the precautions after hearing and understanding a sufficient explanation about this clinical trial

Exclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pain scorePain score measured when communication is possible between 10 and 30 minutes after entering the recovery room.Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale is used

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Additional narcotic analgesics administeredWithin 24 hours of the end of surgeryAmount per body weight of additional narcotic analgesics administered.
Additionally administered non-narcotic analgesicsWithin 24 hours of the end of surgeryAmount per body weight of additionally administered non-narcotic analgesics.
Side effects related to pain medicationWithin 24 hours of the end of surgeryNausea, Vomit, Constipation, Pruritus, Dizziness, Dry mouth, Sedation, etc.
Pain scorePain score for 1 hour, 3 hours, and 24 hours after leaving the recovery roomWong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale is used
Whether diaphragmatic palsyWithin 24 hours of the end of surgeryIt is confirmed by chest X-ray taken in the operating room. Diaphragmatic palsy can usually be suspected on chest X-rays showing abnormal hemidiaphragm elevation. Therefore, we will check the chest X-ray for abnormal hemidiaphragm elevation.
Hospital stayNo more than one monthThe period from discharge from recovery room to discharge
Check the blockageWhen communication is possible between 10 and 30 minutes after entering the recovery room.The quality of the selective supraclavicular nerve block will be tested with loss of cold sensation using an alcohol swab.
Complications related to ropivacaine useWithin 1 hour after procedureArrhythmia, Hypotension, ST change, Dizziness, Convulsion, etc.
