[Effect of fascia iliaca compartment block with ropivacaine on early analgesia in children with development dislocation of the hip received salter arthroplasty treatment].

OBJECTIVE

To observe the efficacy and safety of fascia iliaca compartment block (FICB) with 0.2% ropivacaine in the early analgesia of children with development dislocation of the hip (DDH) undergoing Salter arthroplasty.

METHODS

Approved by the hospital ethics committee, a total of 64 DDH children were divided randomly into 2 groups: group F (FICB with ropivacaine 0.2%, 1 ml/kg, max. 30 ml) and group C (FICB with 0.9% normal saline 1 ml/kg, max. 30 ml). The intra-operative doses of fentanyl, PACU (post-anesthesia care unit), CRIES pain score at 1, 4 and 24 h postoperatively, patient satisfaction score and side effects were recorded.

RESULTS

The intra-operative doses of fentanyl and PACU were lower. Pain scores at 1, 4 and 24 h postoperatively were lower. And the patient satisfaction score was significantly higher in the FICB group.

CONCLUSION

The administration of ropivacaine (0.2%) for FICB in the early analgesia of DDH children has the advantages of safety, precision, long-lasting and convenience.
