Ultrasound-guided paravertebral block with liposomal bupivacaine vs. non-liposomal bupivacaine for postoperative pain control after the Nuss procedure in children: A randomized clinical trial
Study objective
Minimally invasive repair of pectus excavatum (Nuss procedure) is associated with significant postoperative pain and high-dose opioid consumption. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB), as an ultra-long-acting local anesthetic, has been extensively studied for perioperative analgesia. However, data regarding the effects of LB on postoperative pain in children undergoing the Nuss procedure remain limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of LB to reduce postoperative opioid use among children undergoing the Nuss procedure.
Design
Randomized controlled trial.
Setting
Operating room.
Patients
Children aged 6–18 years who were scheduled for elective Nuss procedures.
Interventions
Patients were randomly assigned to receive ultrasound-guided paravertebral block with either LB or non-liposomal bupivacaine (nLB) after anesthesia induction.
Measurements
The primary outcome was the consumption of morphine equivalent during the first 72 h after surgery. The secondary endpoints included the maximum Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain score within 72 h, incidence of moderate-to-severe pain within 72 h, incidence of rebound pain within 72 h, NRS sleep score at 3 days, incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting, length of hospital stay after surgery, and time to first ambulation after the operation.
Main results
A total of 109 subjects were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. Within 72 h after surgery, the morphine equivalent consumption in the LB group was reduced by about 23 % compared with the nLB group (median difference: 23.1 mg; P = 0.023). The incidence of rebound pain was significantly lower in the LB group than in the nLB group (13.0 % [7/54] vs. 29.1 % [16/55], relative risk 0.46; 95 % CI: 0.20 0.96; P = 0.039). Subjective sleep quality was better in the LB group than in the nLB group on the second and third nights after surgery (median difference: −1 point; P = 0.005 and P = 0.016). The incidence of adverse events was similar in both groups, and no patients experienced severe adverse events during the study period.
Conclusions
Paravertebral bock with LB reduces opioid use (a ∼ 23 % reduction) and the incidence of rebound pain in children after the Nuss procedure compared to nLB group.

期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Anesthesia (JCA) addresses all aspects of anesthesia practice, including anesthetic administration, pharmacokinetics, preoperative and postoperative considerations, coexisting disease and other complicating factors, cost issues, and similar concerns anesthesiologists contend with daily. Exceptionally high standards of presentation and accuracy are maintained.
The core of the journal is original contributions on subjects relevant to clinical practice, and rigorously peer-reviewed. Highly respected international experts have joined together to form the Editorial Board, sharing their years of experience and clinical expertise. Specialized section editors cover the various subspecialties within the field. To keep your practical clinical skills current, the journal bridges the gap between the laboratory and the clinical practice of anesthesiology and critical care to clarify how new insights can improve daily practice.
