    Background: Most studies have used sufentanil and ropivacaine for intrathecal anesthesia in adults or children, but few studies have used sufentanil and ropivacaine for peripheral nerve blocks, especially in children. The brachial plexus block is one of the most commonly used nerve block methods in children. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether 0.1 µg/kg sufentanil combined with 0.25% ropivacaine can improve and prolong analgesia in children compared with ropivacaine alone. Method: Eighty children, aged 5-10 years, undergoing upper limb surgery were randomly divided into two groups: the RS group (0.25% ropivacaine combined with 0.1 µg/kg sufentanil) and the R group (0.25% ropivacaine alone). The dosage of 0.25% ropivacaine administered to each group was 0.5 ml/kg. After general anesthesia, all c.. View More»
