Evaluating the Clinical Utility of Brachial Plexus Block for Reducing Opioid Exposure in Pediatric Elbow Fracture Surgery : A Retrospective Cohort Study
Background and Objectives: Reducing opioid exposure in common pediatric surgeries is of paramount importance. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of regional nerve blocks in reducing opioid exposure while preserving high success rates. Materials and Methods: We conducted a retrospective matched cohort study (1:1) including patients with elbow fractures < 12 years old who underwent treatment with percutaneous pinning. Patients were divided into general-anesthesia (GA) and GA-followed-by-supraclavicular-brachial-plexus-block (GA-SCB) groups. The primary outcome was the number of patients administered postoperative rescue opioids. The secondary outcomes included intraoperative and postoperative opioid administration, the time to first request for rescue analgesia, pain scores, block success rate, block performing time, and block-related complications. Results: In a total of 478 patients, 363 underwent percutaneous pinning, and 86 were cohort-matched (GA: n = 43, GA-SCB: n = 43). On the first postoperative day, 34 (79.0%) patients in the GA group were administered postoperative rescue opioids, compared with 12 (27.9%) in the GA-SCB group (p < 0.001). All the patients in the GA-SCB group were opioid-free during the intraoperative period. No SCB-associated complications were observed. Total opioid consumption was significantly lower in the GA-SCB group than in the GA group until the first postoperative day (GA vs. GA-SCB, 3.2 ± 3.0 mg vs. 0.9 ± 1.8 mg, p < 0.001). Conclusions: SCB application in pediatric patients who underwent elbow fracture surgery significantly reduced opioid exposure and had a high success rate when performed using ultrasound guidance by an expert. Furthermore, the complication risk and surgical delay were minimal.
