Regional Anesthesia in Pediatric Orthopaedic Patients

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

To identify the benefits from regional anesthesia use as pain management in the pediatric population by delineating the differences in efficacy of continuous nerve blockade versus single-shot techniques after pediatric orthopaedic limb procedures. By doing this, the investigators can determine if specific anesthetic techniques should become a standard of care in pain management for the pediatric population and supersede the need for opioid medication.
