Summary

This study evaluate the effects of scalp block versus local infiltration on haemodynamic response to head pin replacement and skin incision and postoperative analgesia in posterior fossa surgery

Detailed description

In this study 15 patients will receive scalp block with bupivacaine, 15 patients will receive local infiltration with bupivacaine and 15 patients will receive placebo before surgery. The haemodynamic response to head pin replacement and skin incision will be recorded. Postoperatively all patients will have a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device containing morphine (1 mg/ml) for analgesia. Visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain evaluation, sedation scores, and also postoperative morphine consumption will be evaluated and recorded.

Conditions

• Posterior Fossa Tumors

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Bupivacaine	In the scalp block and local infiltration arms; bupivacaine %0,5 will be used.
DRUG	morphine patient controlled analgesia	End of the surgery all of the patients in 3 groups will receive morphine patient controlled analgesia (PCA) including 1mg/ml morphine. The PCA was set to administer a bolus dose of 1 mg on demand with a lockout period of 10 minutes and maximum 25 mg for 4 hours.
