Bilateral Erector Spinae Plane (ESP) Catheters Versus Single Shot ESP Block for Open Heart Surgery in Infants
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Continuous infusion of ropivacain in ESP catheter and Continuous infusion of Iso Saline in ESP catheter for Opioid Use and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 40 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Post operative pain after open heart surgery is still a main concern; current multimodal analgesia modalities have shown good efficacy for postoperative pain at rest, without reaching full pain relief. The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of peri-operative analgesia, measured by consumption of opioids during the first 48h hours after the surgery, using bilateral erector spinae catheters for 48h, compared to single shot erector spinae block in pediatric patients undergoing open heart surgeries .
