Ultrasound-guided Ilioinguinal/Iliohypogastric Nerve Block Compared to

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This is a single center randomized, controlled, double-blinded, noninferiority study. Male pediatric patients who underwent inguinal herniotomy will be screened for eligibility. Patients will be randomly allocated to IINB and IINB/SCB groups with allocation ratio 1:1. The primary outcome measure will be the proportion of patients who needed rescue analgesia during the first postoperative 6 h. The secondary outcome measures will be intraoperative heart rate and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), the postoperative pain FLACC pain scale, and intravenous paracetamol consumption, the incidence of adverse effects including hematoma, postoperative vomiting and fever.

Clinical Trial Description

Inguinal herniotomy in children is a frequent surgical procedure that require good postoperative analgesia. Ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block is a widely validated anesthetic technique for this procedureز Currently, central neuraxial analgesic techniques have been replaced by ultrasoundguided interfascial plane blocks that have gained more popularity among anesthetists because they are safer, easily performed, associated with minor hemodynamic changes and can be done in the presence of contraindications of the neuraxial block . Ultrasound-guided ilioinguinal/iliohypogastric nerve block (IINB) is commonly done in pediatric patients to control pain after lower abdominal surgeries and has been shown to be effective in controlling pain after inguinal hernia repair . However IINB don't affect the genitofemoral neve that contributes the sensory innervation of the inguinal region. The spermatic cord (SC) is a unique male structure that contains the vas deferens, testicular arteries, the pampiniform plexus of veins, and the ilioinguinal nerve and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve (GFN). To provide complete analgesia for inguinal hernia surgery, GFN should be blocked in addition to IINB . ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
