Randomized Controlled TrialContinuous bupivacaine infusion post-iliac crest bone graft harvesting in pediatric cleft surgery: role and comparison with ketorolac.
To investigate the use of intravenous ketorolac and iliac crest bupivacaine infusion in the management of iliac crest donor-site pain in the pediatric cleft population. The null hypothesis was there is no difference with respect to pain scores between ketorolac and iliac crest bupivacaine infusion as analgesic adjuncts to intravenous opioids. ⋯ Iliac crest donor-site pain is well managed in this patient population. Intravenous ketorolac and iliac crest bupivacaine infusion provide comparable analgesia for iliac crest bone graft donor-site pain in children and adolescents.
