Reply to "Determining postoperative analgesic efficacy of a regional block for pediatric patients".

- Abstract
This article is a response to a study on the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of a selective supraclavicular nerve block for pediatric patients undergoing Hickman catheter or chemoport insertion. The authors acknowledge that their study had limitations, such as not fully implementing multimodal and preemptive analgesia and not protocolizing postoperative pain control in the general ward. They agree that their findings may not be generalizable to centers with established multimodal analgesic protocols. However, they believe that their findings are significant in showing that the selective supraclavicular nerve block improved postoperative pain control and reduced analgesic requirement in pediatric patients. The authors also discuss the challenges of measuring pain scores in pediatric patients and address a statistical error in their study. The article concludes by thanking the authors for their feedback and providing author contributions, acknowledgments, funding information, and a conflict of interest statement.
