PECS Study for CIED Implantation Surgery
Pectoral Nerve (PECS) Block for Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIED) Implantation Surgery
The Hospital for Sick Children
48 participants
Dec 1, 2019
INTERVENTIONAL
Conditions
Summary
We aim to determine whether pectoral nerve block (PECS) performed after induction of anesthesia but before surgical incision results less opioid use in the post operative period compared with local infiltration alone in children undergoing Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device (CIED) surgery.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria1
- All patients 3-18 years undergoing CIED surgery in the chest
Exclusion Criteria5
- Children < 3 years of age at time of procedure as bupivacaine is not licensed for this age group.
- No parental or patient consent
- Allergy to bupivacaine
- Pregnancy or lactation
- Any condition or diagnosis, that could in the opinion of the Principal Investigator or delegate interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study instructions, might confound the interpretation of the study results, or put the participant at risk.

Interventions
The anesthesiologist will administer bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 1:200000 by PECS block after induction of anesthesia before surgical incision. The EP cardiologist will also administer bupivacaine 0.25% with epinephrine 1:200000 by infiltrating the wound after surgery is complete.
