Summary

This study compares nerve blocks to IV pain medicines in children with broken arms. We are trying to see if blocking the nerves in the broken arm results in better pain control and less side effects than injections of morphine into a vein after surgery for a broken elbow.

Conditions

  • Supracondylar Fractures

Interventions

DRUG

Fentanyl

Patients randomized to the systemic analgesia group will receive 1mcg/kg of fentanyl IV after induction.

DRUG

Ropivacaine

Patients randomized to the systemic analgesia group will receive 1mcg/kg of fentanyl IV after induction. Patients randomized to the supraclavicular block group will receive an ultrasound guided nerve block with 0.2 ml/kg ropivacaine 0.5% (maximum 10 ml).
