Ropivacaine Plasma Concentrations and Pharmacokinetics Following Erector Spinae Plane Block in the Pediatric Population
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Ropivacaine for Anesthesia, Local. Completed, enrolled 4 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of serum ropivacaine concentrations following erector spinae plane peripheral nerve blocks in the pediatric population. Secondary outcomes will assess the efficacy of the block with perioperative morphine equivalent consumption and pain scores.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Given the reproducible efficacy of the erector spinae plane block for thoracic procedures, this pilot study will recruit patients scheduled to undergo thoracic surgery with the adjunct of an erector spinae plane block for perioperative pain. Participants will be assigned sequentially to either ropivacaine 0.2% at 0.3ml/kg or ropivacaine 0.5% at 0.3ml/kg.
