U.S., Jan. 22 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07354750) titled 'Effect of PPB on Intraoperative Nociception in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery' on Jan. 12.
Brief Summary: Effective pain control during pediatric cardiac surgery remains a major clinical challenge, particularly in procedures involving median sternotomy, which is associated with intense nociceptive stimulation. Inadequate intraoperative analgesia may lead to increased opioid requirements, hemodynamic instability, delayed extubation, and prolonged intensive care unit stay. Objective monitoring of nociception may provide valuable information beyond conventional hemodynamic parameters in this vulnerable population.
