Overview

The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a hematoma block and minimal ketamine pain control or hematoma block and intranasal fentanyl in pediatric patients presenting with distal radius fractures requiring reduction, compared to control of standard full conscious sedation using ketamine.

Interventions

  • Drug Ketamine + Lidocaine
    Including comparisons between patients randomized for treatment with full ketamine sedation in setting of distal radius fracture reduction, hematoma block/minimal ketamine pain control (. 0.25mg/kg) for distal radius fracture reduction, or intranasal fentanyl and hematoma block, utilized in the setting of distal radius fractures in pediatric patients requiring reduction
  • Drug Ketamine group
    Including comparisons between patients randomized for treatment with full ketamine sedation in setting of distal radius fracture reduction, hematoma block/minimal ketamine pain control (. 0.25mg/kg) for distal radius fracture reduction, or intranasal fentanyl and hematoma block, utilized in the setting of distal radius fractures in pediatric patients requiring reduction
  • Drug Fentanyl (Nasalfent, Fentanyl Citrate Nasal Spray)
    Including comparisons between patients randomized for treatment with full ketamine sedation in setting of distal radius fracture reduction, hematoma block/minimal ketamine pain control (. 0.25mg/kg) for distal radius fracture reduction, or intranasal fentanyl and hematoma block, utilized in the setting of distal radius fractures in pediatric patients requiring reduction

Primary outcome measures

  • Pain control efficacy [Time frame: 1 hour after fracture reduction is complete on the day of the procedure/study visit.]
  • Patient satisfaction scores [Time frame: 1 hour after fracture reduction is complete on the day of the procedure/study visit.]

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Children requiring reduction for distal radius fracture
  • Children presenting to the emergency department
  • Children who are ages 3 to 17 years.

Exclusion criteria

  • Pediatric patients <3 years old
  • Adult patients (i.e. ages 18 or up)
  • Pediatric patients with injury patterns that are not amenable to hematoma block.
  • Children who are not a candidate for sedation related to BMI > 95%tile for age, ASA class > 2, Mallampati score > 2, and pregnant patients

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
