Pediatric Ultrasound-guided Dorsal Penile Nerve Block Plus Sedation in Spontaneous Breathing: An Observational Study
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block for Child, Only. Completed, enrolled 70 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
One of the most frequent surgical procedures in the pediatric population is circumcision, following which postoperative pain could be stressful. Usually, the most common approach is combining regional anesthesia techniques such as landmark dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) with general anesthesia (GA). The hypothesis of this study investigates ultrasound-guided DPNB plus sedation in spontaneous breathing.
