NCT02009267 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2017-02-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

A retrospective chart review study analyzing the benefits of patient controlled analgesia, thoracic epidural analgesia, and paravertebral nerve block catheters in patients having surgical repair of pectus excavatum using the Nuss procedure.

Conditions

  • Pectus Excavatum

Interventions

DEVICE

Patient controlled analgesia

A programable electronically controlled infusion pump that delivers an amount of intravenous analgesic when the patient presses a button.

PROCEDURE

Continuous thoracic epidural infusions

Continuous thoracic epidural infusions (TE) involves continuous infusion of drugs through a catheter placed into the epidural space, resulting in a loss of sensation-including the sensation of pain-by blocking the transmission of signals through nerve fibers in or near the spinal cord.

PROCEDURE

Continuous paravertebral blockade

Continuous paravertebral blockade (PVB) is the technique of injecting local anesthetic adjacent to the thoracic vertebra that anesthetizes the spinal nerve roots after they exit the spinal canal.
