[Continuous epidural ropivacaine analgesia in adolescents].
The paper deals with the efficiency of postoperative analgesia after thoracoplasty in 43 adolescents with the funnel chest. Within the first 64-72 postoperative hours, the patients received a continuous epidural infusion of 0.2% ropivacaine solution at a rate of 0.3 ml/kg/hr. Analyses of hemodynamic parameters and the pain scale demonstrated the efficiency of this postoperative analgesia in 74.4% of the adolescents.
