Clonidine for Infra-orbital Nerve Block During Pediatric Cleft Lip Revision Surgeries
Summary
Pain in children is usually an undertreated entity. Undertreating perioperative pain could lead to various metabolic, physiologic, and neurophysiological responses. The usual means of management i.e., opioids may increase the incidence of respiratory depression in this age group. Adequate postoperative analgesia in children is a vital part of perioperative care. Good pain relief minimizes oxygen requirement, reduces cardio-respiratory demands, and promotes early ambulation and recovery. Regional block given preoperatively in combination with general anesthesia provides good preemptive analgesia. It is associated with hemodynamic stability, rapid and complete recovery, and reduced analgesic requirement in postoperative period. Type of the study: A prospective randomized controlled double-blind study.
