Résumé

The local anesthetic concentration required for ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) in children remains unknown. Knowledge of appropriate ropivacaine concentration can help clinicians reduce local anesthetic toxicity risk when performing ultrasound-guided RSB in children. This study aimed to determine the appropriate ropivacaine concentration for ultrasound-guided RSB in children undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. In this single-arm prospective study with an up-down sequential allocation design of binary response variables, 18 consecutive children aged 11 months to 7 years undergoing single-incision laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure were assessed. Orotracheal intubation was performed without intravenous anesthesia or a neuromuscular relaxant. After intubation, ultrasound-guided RSB was performed with a ropivacaine dose of 0.30 ml/kg (0.15 ml/kg per side). Dixon's up-and-down method was used to determine the concentration, starting from 0.25% in 0.05% increments. Surgery commenced ≥15 min following RSB. Body movement or a 20% increase in heart rate or systolic blood pressure within 1 min of surgery initiation determined an unsuccessful RSB. The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine needed for successful RSB was calculated using the probit test. The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine needed for successful ultrasound-guided RSB was 0.31% (95% confidence interval, 0.25-7.29). The highest concentration of ropivacaine required for successful ultrasound-guided RSB in the group of patients in this study was 0.3%. The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine (0.30 ml/kg total, 0.15 ml/kg per side) for ultrasound-guided RSB was 0.31% in children undergoing single-incision laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
The local anesthetic concentration required for ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) in children remains unknown. Knowledge of appropriate ropivacaine concentration can help clinicians reduce local anesthetic toxicity risk when performing ultrasound-guided RSB in children. This study aimed to determine the appropriate ropivacaine concentration for ultrasound-guided RSB in children undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
METHODS METHODS
In this single-arm prospective study with an up-down sequential allocation design of binary response variables, 18 consecutive children aged 11 months to 7 years undergoing single-incision laparoscopic percutaneous extraperitoneal closure were assessed. Orotracheal intubation was performed without intravenous anesthesia or a neuromuscular relaxant. After intubation, ultrasound-guided RSB was performed with a ropivacaine dose of 0.30 ml/kg (0.15 ml/kg per side). Dixon's up-and-down method was used to determine the concentration, starting from 0.25% in 0.05% increments. Surgery commenced ≥15 min following RSB. Body movement or a 20% increase in heart rate or systolic blood pressure within 1 min of surgery initiation determined an unsuccessful RSB. The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine needed for successful RSB was calculated using the probit test.
RESULTS RESULTS
The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine needed for successful ultrasound-guided RSB was 0.31% (95% confidence interval, 0.25-7.29). The highest concentration of ropivacaine required for successful ultrasound-guided RSB in the group of patients in this study was 0.3%.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
The 95% effective concentration of ropivacaine (0.30 ml/kg total, 0.15 ml/kg per side) for ultrasound-guided RSB was 0.31% in children undergoing single-incision laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia.
