About this study

Official title: Effects of Paravertebral Block on Postoperative Analgesia in Children Undergoing Lateral Incision Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass: a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to compare the effect of paravertebral block and local infiltration anesthesia on postoperative analgesia in children undergoing lateral incision cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. The researchers hope to investigate whether children who undergo paravertebral block experience less postoperative pain, have fewer postoperative complications, and recover more quickly.

Being tested
paravertebral block, Local infiltration anesthesia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • paravertebral blockProcedure or surgery

    After cardiac surgery, the anesthesiologist will use 3mg/kg of 0.375% ropivacaine to conduct paravertebral block.

  • Local infiltration anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    After cardiac surgery, the anesthesiologist will use 3mg/kg of 0.375% ropivacaine to conduct local infiltration anesthesia.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. opioid consumption during the first 24h after surgery

    the total amount of sufentanil and other opioids will be calculated as morphine equivalent dose (MED) divided by body weight

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. FPS-R scale recorded at 6, 12, 18 and 24h postoperatively

    The Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) is a self-report measure of pain intensity developed for children. It was adapted from the Faces Pain Scale to make it possible to score the sensation of pain on the widely accepted 0-to-10 metric. The scale shows a close linear relationship with visual analog pain scales across the age range of 4-16 years. The bedside nurse will show the patients a picture of six faces, and score 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 from left to right. "0" equals "no pain" and "10" equals "very much pain." They will ask the patient to choose a face that represents their current pain condition and record the pain score.

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

  2. The rate of opioid treatment for remedial analgesia between groups

    Measured: 24 hours postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing paravertebral block and Local infiltration anesthesia in people with Postoperative Pain, run by Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Fuwai Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

opioid consumption during the first 24h after surgery (time frame: 24 hours postoperatively). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06312904, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Feb 2025.
