On-Q Pump vs Epidural for Postoperative Pain Control in Children

NCT03496259 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 32

Last updated 2022-02-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Open abdominal and pelvic surgery or thoracotomy (open chest surgery) is frequently performed for tumor excision in children. Post-operative pain management regimens are often at the discretions of the attending surgeon and may include opiods, patient administered analgesia (PCA), epidural catheters, subcutaneous analgesia catheters or NSAIDS to control incisional pain. Currently, both epidural or subcutaneous analgesia catheters (On-Q pumps) are commonly used for children undergoing these operations, at the discretion of the surgeon. There are no studies comparing these regimens in children. The purpose of this study is to compare postoperative pain control of the two strategies.
