Trial Identification

Brief Title: To Investigate the Use of a New Syringe "Visual Pressure Control (VPC)" for Epidural Anesthesia in Children Surgery

Official Title: Use of Visual Pressure Control (VPC) Syringes for Epidural Space Identification in Pediatric Anesthesia: a Pilot Study

Study ID: NCT05308771

Conditions

Abdominal Hernia

Abdominal Wall Defect

Interventions

VPC syringe

Study Description

Brief Summary: Pediatric epidural anesthesia has emerged as a safe and effective regional anesthesia technique for providing intraoperative and postoperative analgesia in thoracic and abdominal surgery. The loss of resistance technique is the gold standard for the placement of the epidural. The VPC (visual pressure control) syringes developed by PAJUNK enable direct visualization of the introduction of the needle into the epidural space.

Detailed Description: This trial is a non blinded, pilot study. A minimum of 15 children between the ages of 0 and 16 who require surgery that may benefit from epidural anesthesia will be enrolled. The number of attempts, the complications (dural and vascular punctures, neurological complications) and the degree of satisfaction of the operator measured by a 7-point likert scale will be studied as secondary objectives.
