Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of Dexamethasone as an Adjuvant to Bupivacaine in Bilateral Erector Spinae Block on Postoperative Pain and Diaphragmatic Function After Pediatric Cardiac Surgeries : A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
The aim of this study is to figure out the efficacy of dexamethasone addition to bupivacaine versus bupivacaine alone in bilateral erector spinae plane block on postoperative analgesia after pediatric cardiac surgeries
The recently introduced ultrasound-guided interfascial plane block, bilateral erector spinae plane block (ESPB) is a viable option for management of postoperative pain after midline sternotomy. It is expected to provide an analgesic cover spanning the entire thorax at the desired dermatomes including the midline, which could prove beneficial for cardiac surgery through midline sternotomy. Indications for ESPB for postoperative analgesia in pediatric surgeries to date include thoracotomy, video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, vascular ring repair and sternotomy. Dexamethasone is a synthetic glucocorticoid acting as an anti- inflammatory. It inhibits the release of inflammatory mediators such as interleukins and cytokines. Several studies have shown that a preoperative dose of dexamethasone added to local anesthetic agents has promising results in reducing postoperative pain and improving the quality of analgesia ;
