Regional analgesia using erector spinae plane block

Experimental group

Description:

After pectus excavatum is done, intravenous patient controlled analgesia device with fentanyl is connected. Then, regional analgesia is performed for additional analgesia; ultrasound guided erector spinae plane block is performed using 0.25% ropivacaine (total 1 ml/kg) bilaterally. Plasma concentration of ropivacaine at baseline, and 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 120 minutes after ropivacaine injection will be measured.

Treatment:

Procedure: Erector spinae plane block

Control

No Intervention group

Description:

After pectus excavatum is done, intravenous patient controlled analgesia device with fentanyl is connected. No regional block is performed.
