Avoid With Locoregional Analgesia Persistant Postoperative Pain In Children
Sponsor: Nantes University Hospital
Summary
Persistent postoperative pain is a substantial pain (scores 4-10 using a 0-10 numeric scale) that develops 3 months after surgery. Persistent postoperative pain can be a problem even in ambulatory surgery. Loco-regional analgesia could prevent the occurrence of this pathology but contradictory results are found in ancient studies. This study is the first randomized controlled study in children about loco-regional analgesia and persistent postoperative pain in traumatologic orthopedic surgery. One interventional arm will receive a locoregional analgesia after general anesthesia and before incision. The other arm will only receive systemic analgesia during general anesthesia. The incidence of persistent postoperative pain at 3, 6 and 12 months will be compared in these two groups. The goal is to show the decrease of the incidence of the persistent postoperative pain in the group "locoregional analgesia".

Conditions
Interventions
Carbocaine
After general anesthesia and before incision, patients will receive loco-regional analgesia. Carbocaïne will be injected around the nerve responsible of the innervation of the operated area by echography guidance.
Profofol and/or Suxaméthonium and/or Sévoflurane
General anesthesia Anesthetic induction is performed on a full stomach using : * Intravenous hypnotic Propofol 2-5 mg/kg * A rapid-acting intravenous curare Suxamethonium 1 mg/kg On an empty stomach : \- An intravenous hypnotic Propofol 2 to 5 mg/kg or/and an inhalatory hypnotic, Sevoflurane, as anesthetic co-induction by these 2 agents is generally used in pediatrics.
