Abstract
Background: Large randomized clinical trials to evaluate analgesic treatments in pediatric surgery patients are challenging to undertake. Regional anesthetic improves postoperative pain in adults, but its benefits on pediatric patients are unclear. Objective: This study examined regional anesthesia’s effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain. The research on the impact of regional anaesthetic on postoperative pain in paediatric surgical patients was searched extensively. Methods: 2,408 pediatric patients from 10 trials were examined. The majority of the publications written between 2013 and 2017 claimed that using regional anesthetics decreased the need for opioids and lessened postoperative pain. A small number of surgical operations did not significantly vary from normal anesthetic administration in terms of postoperative pain relief. Result: For numerous surgical operations (craniectomy, ophthalmologic surgery, otologic surgery, and heart surgery) on children, better regional anesthesia techniques are needed to reduce postoperative pain. In terms of pain, the Trial group's statistically decreased mean values were discovered (p
期刊介绍:
Cardiometry is an open access biannual electronic journal founded in 2012. It refers to medicine, particularly to cardiology, as well as oncocardiology and allied science of biophysics and medical equipment engineering. We publish mainly high quality original articles, reports, case reports, reviews and lectures in the field of the theory of cardiovascular system functioning, principles of cardiometry, its diagnostic methods, cardiovascular system therapy from the aspect of cardiometry, system and particular approaches to maintaining health, engineering peculiarities in cardiometry developing. The interdisciplinary areas of the journal are: hemodynamics, biophysics, biochemistry, metrology. The target audience of our Journal covers healthcare providers including cardiologists and general practitioners, bioengineers, biophysics, medical equipment, especially cardiology diagnostics device, developers, educators, nurses, healthcare decision-makers, people with cardiovascular diseases, cardiology and engineering universities and schools, state and private clinics. Cardiometry is aimed to provide a wide forum for exchange of information and public discussion on above scientific issues for the mentioned experts.
