Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A retrospective chart review study analyzing the benefits of patient controlled analgesia, thoracic epidural analgesia, and paravertebral nerve block catheters in patients having surgical repair of pectus excavatum using the Nuss procedure.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Patient controlled analgesia

Use of patient controlled analgesia (PCA) for the management of postoperative pain after the Nuss procedure.

Patient controlled analgesia

Intervention Type DEVICE

A programable electronically controlled infusion pump that delivers an amount of intravenous analgesic when the patient presses a button.

Continuous thoracic epidural infusion

Continuous thoracic epidural infusions (TE) for the management of postoperative pain after the Nuss procedure.

Continuous thoracic epidural infusions

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Continuous thoracic epidural infusions (TE) involves continuous infusion of drugs through a catheter placed into the epidural space, resulting in a loss of sensation-including the sensation of pain-by blocking the transmission of signals through nerve fibers in or near the spinal cord.

Continuous paravertebral blockade

Continuous paravertebral blockade (PVB) for the management of postoperative pain after the Nuss procedure.

Continuous paravertebral blockade

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Continuous paravertebral blockade (PVB) is the technique of injecting local anesthetic adjacent to the thoracic vertebra that anesthetizes the spinal nerve roots after they exit the spinal canal.
