• Conditions: Microtia; Anesthesia, Local; Microtia, Congenital; Anesthesia
• Interventions: Procedure: Erector Spinae Plane Block

• Registration Number: NCT03729427
• Lead Sponsor: Stanford University

Brief Summary

The erector spinae plane block is a novel regional anesthetic technique that allows for analgesia of the thorax and abdomen with a peripheral nerve block. This study is being performed to assess the effectiveness of this technique in reducing post-operative pain scores and opiate requirements in pediatric and adult patients undergoing rib cartilage grafting surgeries.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluating Pain Scores Using Faces, Legs, Activity, Cry, and Consolability (FLACC) Scale	Duration of Study (Typically 4-5 days)	Scale will be used to asses pain initially prior to the procedure and postoperatively approximately every 6 hours.
Opiate Intake in Morphine Equivalents in Both Control and Treatment Group	Duration of procedure and postoperative recovery (throughout study completion, typically 4-5 days)
Evaluating Pain Scores Using Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale	Duration of Study (Typically 4-5 days)	Scale will be used to asses pain initially prior to the procedure and postoperatively approximately every 6 hours.
Evaluating Pain Scores Using 0-10 Numeric Pain Scale (0=No Pain, 10=Worst Pain)	Duration of Study (Typically 4-5 days)	Scale will be used to asses pain initially prior to the procedure and postoperatively approximately every 6 hours.
