Summary

The objective of this trial is to examine if regional anesthetic blockade of the anterior abdominal wall via the transversus abdominis plane is a safe and feasible method of providing analgesia for children undergoing gastric tube insertion.

Conditions

  • Anesthesia
  • Enteral Nutrition

Interventions

PROCEDURE

bupivacaine with epinephrine (mid and upper abdomen)

Patients will receive localized infiltration of local anesthesia (0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000) at the beginning of the procedure as is current standard practice. Localized anaesthetic of the mid and upper abdomen.

PROCEDURE

bupivacaine with epinephrine (transversus abdominis plane)

0.6 cc/kg (to a maximum of 20 ccs) of 0.25% bupivacaine with epinephrine 1:200,000 will be injected into the neuro-vascular plane between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. Regional anaesthetic block of the transversus abdominis plane.
