This study evaluate the effects of scalp block versus local infiltration on haemodynamic response to head pin replacement and skin incision and postoperative analgesia in posterior fossa surgery
Full description
In this study 15 patients will receive scalp block with bupivacaine, 15 patients will receive local infiltration with bupivacaine and 15 patients will receive placebo before surgery. The haemodynamic response to head pin replacement and skin incision will be recorded. Postoperatively all patients will have a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing morphine (1 mg/ml) for analgesia. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain evaluation, sedation scores, and also postoperative morphine consumption will be evaluated and recorded.
