Pericapsular Nerve Group (PENG) Block for Congenital Hip Dislocation Surgery

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the major disorder of the pediatric population with an incidence of 3 to 5 per 1000 children. Open surgical reduction of congenital hip dislocation (CHD) is typically performed after an ineffective closed reduction or older than 18 months. Multiple femoral or pelvic osteotomies and tenotomies are performed during this surgical treatment and cause severe postoperative pain. Pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block has been recently recommended for use as postoperative analgesia in hip surgeries. It is a new regional anesthesia method based on blocking the articular branches of femoral nerve (FN) and accessory obturator nerve (AON) in the region between the anterior inferior iliac spine (AIIS) and iliopubic eminence (IPE).The aim of this study was to evaluate the analgesic effect of ultrasound guided pediatric pericapsular nerve group (PENG) block in pediatric patients undergoing CHD surgery.

Treatment and study plan

Saline Solution

Drug

0.5 ml/kg saline

Bupivacaine

Drug

0.5 ml/kg %0.25 bupivacaine

Primary outcomes

  1. Face, Legs, Activity, Cry and Consolability Score (FLACC)

    Time frame: Postoperative first 24hour

    FLACC scale will be used. The Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability scale or FLACC scale is a measurement used to assess pain for children between the ages of 2 months and 7 years or individuals that are unable to communicate their pain. The scale is scored in a range of 0-10 with 0 representing no pain. The scale has five criteria, which are each assigned a score of 0, 1 or 2.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Need for rescue analgesic

    Time frame: 2 hour

    Number of patients who required rescue analgesia in postoperative care unit in the first 2 hour

  2. Need for analgesic

    Time frame: 24 hour

    Number of patients who required analgesic in the first 24 hour
