Pericapsular Nerve Group Block Versus Caudal Block for Postoperative Pain Management in Pediatric Hip Surgery

Egypt80 participantsStarted 2024-08-10

Plain-language summary

Children can experience substantial pain after hip operations, causing agitation, depression, and sleep disruption, which can have a negative impact on their health. Opioids are associated with several serious side effects that limits its use as solo agents for pain management. Regional blocks such as caudal Block (CB) and pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in adjuvant with general anaesthesia are alternative perioperative analgesic techniques that lead to lesser side effects, including motor weakness, postoperative nausea and vomiting with decreased opioid consumption.
