Background: Idiopathic clubfoot deformity is a relatively common congenital pediatric foot deformity. A percutaneous Achilles tenotomy (PAT) is required to correct the equinus deformity as it is the most resistant component of clubfoot deformity. Although this procedure is mainly performed with local anesthesia, performing this procedure with general anesthesia has significant advantages. Aims: The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy of post-procedural pain management of PAT in the treatment of clubfoot with the Ponseti method when performed in a clinic setting with local anesthetic or under general anesthesia Methods: This is a multicentric prospective observational evaluation on children less than one year of age with idiopathic clubfoot whom referred for Ponseti casting and PAT. This procedure was done in the control group with local anesthesia and in the intervention group with Sevoflurane mask 8% (MAC 2) and maintenance of anesthesia with Sevoflurane mask 4% (N2O/O2, 50%). The neonatal infant pain scale (NIPS), the amount of milk, and mood changes were evaluated as a criterion to measure the pain level. Results: NIPS score in the intervention group was significantly lower than the control group. Children in the intervention group consume significantly more milk than the control group. Furthermore, 76% of children in the intervention group were classified as "calm," 24% as "relatively restless," and no child was classified as "severely restless." While in the control group, 54% of children were classified as "severely restless," and the remaining 46% as "relatively restless." Conclusion: Our result showed that using general anesthesia to perform achillotomy in the treatment of clubfoot in children could be associated with less pain in these patients and without significant complications. |
