Ninety children below 7 years old who were scheduled elective inguinal hernia repair were randomly allocated into one of three groups. The patients in nerve block (NB) group, ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block was done with 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine. The patients in infiltration of local anesthetics (LI) group, 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25% bupivacaine was infiltrated into the wound after surgery. The patients in control group were allocated as a Control group. Postoperative pain was assessed at 1, 3, 5, and 24 hours after operation with FLACC scale and additional analgesic consumption were counted. The three groups were not significantly different in age, sex, body weight, and duration of operation. Pain scores at 1 hour and 3 hours after operation were significantly higher in Control group than in NB group and LI group (p<0.01), whereas there were no difference between NB group and LI group. The rescue analgesics administration was significantly higher in Control group (n=11) than in NB group (n=6) and LI group (n=7) (p<0.05). There were 2 cases of transient femoral nerve palsy in NB group. Both of ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block and infiltration of local anesthetics into the wound provided effective postoperative analgesia in early postoperative period following inguinal hernia repair in children. But no difference between the two methods. Technically, infiltration of local anesthetics into the wound was easier and safer than ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric nerve block.

Requirement of Rescue Analgesics and Complications Number of rescue analgesics Complication NB LI Control p-value 6 2 7 0 11 0 0.03 0.13 지는소아에서그정도를평가하고객관화하기는쉽지않다. 통증평가에가장흔히이용되는 Visual analogue scale (VAS) 은 0에서 10까지숫자가적힌선으로표시된그래프에환자가자신의통증정도를평가하는방법으로, 이해력이부족한소아에서적용하는데는어려움이있다 9. Wrong- Baker scale 은여섯가지의표정을가진얼굴그림과그에대한설명으로이루어져있어, VAS 보다는이해하기쉬워소아에서좀더많이이용되고있다 1. 그러나이러한자가평가도구는어느정도이러한평가에대한이해와스스로의표현이가능해야함으로대체로 3세정도까지는적용이가능하다고보고있으나, 그보다어린소아에서는관찰자가환자의행동이나자세혹은활력징후등을보고평가하는도구를이용한다 1. 본연구에서이용한 FLACC scale 도그중하나로관찰자가환자의얼굴표정 (Facial expression), 다리의자세 (Position of legs), 활동력 (Activity), 울음 (Presence of crying), 그리고안정성 (Ability to console), 이렇게 5가지를보고판정하는방법으로 2개월에서 7세까지의소아에게적용할수있는통증평가도구이다 10. 수술로조직에기계적손상이가해지면이에대한신체반응으로염증반응이일어나고 TNF-α, Interleukin-6, Interleukin-8 등의전염증성사이토카인 (Proinflammatory cytokine) 이증가하게된다. 이들사이토카인이 COX- 2 의존경로 (cyclo-oxygenase-2 dependent pathway) 를통해말초신경과중추신경계를민감하게만들어통각과민 (hyperalgesia) 상태가된다 11. 따라서수술로인한통증을조절하는데는통증이발생한후에치료하는것보다는이러한염증반응이일어나기전에차단하는것이효과적이라고생각할수있다 5. Bao 등 11 (2012) 은성인환자에서비스테로이드성항염증제를피부절개를하기전에투여하는것이절개후에투여하는것보다진통제의요구량이적었고술후진통제를요구하는시기도늦출수있었으며혈중사이토카인레벨도낮았다고하였다 11,12. Sajedi 등 13 (2011) 은소아서혜부탈장환자에서미추차단을피부절개전에하는것이절개후에하는것보다술후통증이적고진통제의요구량도적었다고하였다. 그러나 Cnar 등 14 (2009) 과 Sakellaris 등 2 (2004) 은국소마취제의창상국소주사를절개하기전과후에시행한것을비교한연구에서술후통증과수술후혈중스트레스호르몬농도의차이가없다고하였으며, 실제국소마취제를주사한 Journal of the Korean Association of Pediatric Surgeons 9
J Korean Assoc Pediatr Surg 2014;20(1):7-11 조직은부종때문에전기소작기를이용한조직의절개가불편하기도하여본연구에서는국소마취제의창상국소주사는모두수술을마치고피부를봉합하기전에시행하였다. 소아에서진통제, 특히마약성진통제의전신투여에따른부작용을피하면서서혜부탈장수술후통증조절을위한방법에는미추차단, 장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단, 그리고마취제의창상국소주사와피부도포크림등이있다. 이들은서로술기의난이도가다르고장단점이있으며아직은어느한가지가다른방법들에비해통증조절효과가우월하다고밝혀지지않고있다 15. 장골서혜신경과장골하복신경은해부학적으로복횡근과내사복근사이를주행하여뒤에서앞쪽으로돌아나오는데전상장골극근처에와서내사복근을관통하여외사복근건막아래에위치하게된다 16. 따라서장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단을위해서는전상장골극내측에서외사복근건막과내사복근사이의공간에국소마취제를주입해야한다 16. 따라서신경차단을효과적으로시행하기위해서는바늘끝의위치가대단히중요한데육안적으로해부학적위치를정해서시행할때실패율이약 30% 정도에이른다는보고도있으며 17, 일시적대퇴신경마비나장천공같은합병증이발생할위험이있다 18,19. 일시적대퇴신경마비는국소마취제의약효가소실되면서자연회복되므로 3시간에서 6시간정도침상안정을취하면서경과를관찰하면별다른후유증없이회복되는일시적합병증이다 20. 그러나하지가마비된상태를인지하지못하고조기에보행을하다가넘어지면골절상이나뇌손상같은심각한손상을초래할수있으므로주의를요한다 20. 발생빈도는장골서혜신경차단의약 0.25% 에서 10% 까지아주다양하게보고되고있다 19,20. 원인은바늘이너무깊게들어가거나 21, 성공률을높이기위해고농도혹은과량의국소마취제를사용하여약제가복횡근보다아래층으로들어가서발생한다고알려져있다 19,22. 예방을위해서바늘의위치를정확히, 특히너무깊이들어가지않도록하고, 국소마취제의농도는 0.5% 이하그리고용량을 0.5 ml/kg 이하로투여하는것을권장한다 20. 장골서혜신경차단을초음파유도하에시행하면신경과바늘끝의위치, 그리고국소마취제의주입을실시간으로관찰할수있으므로신경차단의성공률을높이고합병증의발생을줄일수있지만 23, 의료비가상승되는부담이있다. Matsota 등 17 (2007) 은국소마취제의창상국소주사는아세트아미노펜의직장 (rectum) 을통한투여에비해조기에그리고좀더긴진통효과를보인다고하였고, Fell 등 4 (1988) 은미추차단과비교해서통증을줄이는효과는비슷하지만상대적으로시술하기가쉽다고하였다. Casey 등 24 (1990) 과 Reid 등 25 (1987) 은창상국소주사와장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단이비슷한수술후통증조절의효과를보인다고하였다. 본연구에서도창상국소주사와장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단술은모두술후 1시간과 3시간에유의하게통증을줄였으며추가진통제의요구도유의하게적어, 수술후초기의통증조절에효과적인방법임을알수있었지만두방법사이에는통계적으로유의한차이는발견할수없었다. 본연구에서장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단술과창상국소주사는외과의사들이수술시시행하기에큰문제는없었다. 그러나신경차단군에서는비록특별한후유증없이완전히회복되었고통계적으로도의미는없었지만 (p=0.13) 일시적대퇴신경마비가 2예 (6.7%) 발생하였다. 그리고신경차단술은필요한위치에바늘의끝을고정하고약제를주사해야함으로혈관내로약제가투여될수있는위험이있지만창상국소주사는지속적으로바늘의끝을움직이면서시행함으로약제의혈관내주사로인한합병증의위험성은거의없다고볼수있을것이다. 결론 서혜부탈장으로수술한소아에서장골서혜신경및장골하복신경차단술과국소마취제의창상국소주사는수술후초기의통증조절에효과적이었다. 두방법사이에통증조절효과의차이는발견할수없었으나창상국소주사가상대적으로안전하고쉬운방법이라사료된다. 그러나본연구의대상자수가적으므로좀더명확한결론을위해서는더많은환자를대상으로한연구가필요할것이다.
