Randomized Controlled TrialRopivacaine peritonsillar infiltration for analgesia after adenotonsillectomy in children: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study.
Our randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluates the possible benefit of peritonsillar infiltration with 0.75% ropivacaine hydrochloride on the pain level after adenotonsillectomy in 3- to 7-year-old children. ⋯ Peritonsillar infiltration with 0.75% ropivacaine does not provide any major postoperative analgesic effect in 3- to 7-year-old children after adenotonsillectomy. A possible clinically minor analgesia 6 hours after surgery is suggested.
