Continuous Nerve Block
Infusions: Use in Children and
Adolescents in Both Inpatient or
Outpatient Settings
Kelley Windsor, PCNS-BC
Lane Faughnan, RN
Objectives
• Describe the experience of managing continuous
peripheral nerve block catheters (CPNBs) at our
pediatric hem/onc institution
• Describe the nursing implications in managing
pediatric patients with CPNBs as inpatients and
outpatients
• Identify strategies to prevent and manage
complications of CPNB
• Review case studies
• Time for questions and discussion
OUR EXPERIENCE, 2005-2011
Background information
• St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital treats
children and young adults with life-threatening
diseases of childhood, mostly cancer
• 60 inpatient bed facility, large outpatient service
• Started using CPNB catheters in 2005
• Prior to 2005, epidurals were our standard
regional pain management
• Started with one anesthesiologist, then expanded
to all anesthesiologists placing nerve block
catheters

Our experience 2005-2011: block
infusions
• Medications: bupivacaine or ropivacaine; tried
clonidine, but no anecdotal support for use
• Infusion rates: vary, based on size of patient
and location of block
Our experience 2005-2011: nerve
block infusions
• Analgesic efficacy: efficacy of NBI therapy in
children and adults has been well documented in
the literature
• Dressing changes: started with tegaderm, then
silver impregnated dressings, back to tegaderm,
back to silver impregnated dressings
• Removal of catheter: done inpatient or in pain
clinic ; duration of catheter depends on type of
surgery or indications

NURSING IMPLICATIONS: INPATIENT
AND OUTPATIENT MANAGEMENT
Known Complications
• Infection

– Tunnel track
• Device malfunctions
– Broken catheter
– Dislodged / accidental
removal
– Pump disconnection
– Pump malfunction
– Infusion leak
• Analgesia complications
– Incomplete block or
inadequate pain control
– Numbness
• Potential interference with
patient care
– Not compatible with MRI
– Location of catheters
related to activities of daily
living / physical therapy
Risk Factors for Infection
• Results from adult studies:
1. ICU stay
2. Block duration >48h
3. Male
4. Lack of antibiotic prophylaxis
5. Axillary or femoral location
6. Frequent dressing changes

Standard of Care: Inpatient
• Assessment and Documentation:
– Every fours hours (pain score, block exit site, dressing clean and
dry, connections secure, motor strength)
– Change infusion bag and tubing q96h
• Patient Safety:
– Two independent double checks for initiation of infusion, bag
changes, and dosage changes
– Quality improvement process for every day that infusion is
running
• Patient and Family Education:
– Identify appropriate patients for keeping NBI for outpatient
• How long will they need the nerve block?
• Is there a caregiver to manage pump?
– Preparing written handouts (Do You Know)
Standard of Care: Outpatients
• Assessment and Documentation:
– NBI site and dressing assessed with each outpatient clinic visit
• Change dressing every 7 days or if soiled or wet
– Pump checks done with visits to Pain Clinic
• Patient Safety:
– Two independent double checks for initiation of infusion, bag changes,
and dosage changes
– Quality improvement process for every day that infusion is running
– All bag changes are done by RNs at the hospital
– Teaching done prior to patient leaving the hospital (going into hospital
housing)
– Oncall MD as support for any problems with block
• Patient and Family Education
– Do You Know…Nerve Block Infusions
– Do You Know…CADD Solis Pump
– Pain Diary
STRATEGIES TO PREVENT AND MANAGE
COMPLICATIONS OF CPNB:
PATIENT CARE
Preventing Complications
• Insertion Techniques
– Sterile technique
– Tunneling catheters
• Dressing
– Type of dressing (silver impregnated vs not)
– Frequency of dressing change (every 7 days, or
when dirty or loose)
• Site Assessment
Managing Complications:
Disconnected catheter
• Assess patient: means a trip to medicine room
• Assess catheter – broken or disconnected?
• If broken:
– We would typically discontinue the catheter
– Anesthesiologist may repair it if indicated (end of life)
or schedule patient for new catheter
• If disconnected:
– Parents are taught to protect integrity
of catheter tip with red cap
– Contaminated bags are discontinued and new bag
hooked up
Managing Complications:
Leaking catheter
• Assess patient; assess catheter – leaking from
pump, tubing, or exit site?
• Kinked or occluded? Trouble shoot to find
problem.
• Leaking at exit site? Reduce infusion rate.
• Leaking from tubing or pump? Replace bag
and/or pump
Managing Complications:
Incomplete pain control
• Assessment: phone call or clinic visit
– Pain assessment and review PRN pain medication
usage and effectiveness
– With or without cold test
• Intervention
– May bolus NBI with local anesthetic to test
effectiveness
– If bolus works, may increase rate or concentration of
anesthetic
– If not, may discontinue block
STRATEGIES TO PREVENT AND MANAGE
COMPLICATIONS OF CPNB:
QUALITY IMPROVEMENT
Improvement Goals: QI
• Reduce infection at site
– Ensure antibiotic coverage, especially in the nonsurgical patients
• Improvement of nursing documentation
– To meet standard of care inpatient and outpatient
Improvement Goals:
Nursing Education
• Pain Pointers
• Epidural/Nerve Block
Calculator
• Improve use of current
pt/family education
materials
Improvement Goals: Nursing
Education
• Epidural/Nerve Block Calculator (online)
Improvement Goals:
New Devices and Techniques
• Devices:
– CADD Solis: new pump with drug library
• Techniques:
– Continue sterile technique, including gown
– USG and nerve stimulator
– Tunnel all catheters
• Dressing:
– Use silver impregnated dressing
– Remove catheter within one week, unless end of life
Improvement Goals:
Responding to QI
• Each adverse event should be carefully
reviewed as early as possible to identify
contributing factors
• “Minor” or “expected” events should also be
gathered and reviewed for increasing trends
that signal a lapse in policy or a new problem
– Changes in staffing
– New device or supplier

Special circumstances
• CPNB risk/benefit profile is unique for every
patient
• Pain control at end of life is priority over relative
risks such as neutropenia, thrombocytopenia,
local wound, or other contraindications
• We have allowed CPNB to remain in site for
prolonged periods under some end-of-life
circumstances:
– Catheter is controlling pain effectively (better than
PCA or PO)
– Catheter is functioning properly
– Pt/family willing, remain available for catheter
maintenance (home health or outpatient visits)
