Effect of Local Anesthesia at the Bone Collection Site of Iliac Bone Grafting on Autonomic Nervous System Activity and Circulatory Dynamics in Alveolar Cleft Treatment

Key Points

This research aims to assess how local anesthesia at the bone collection site influences autonomic nervous system activity during iliac bone grafting.
Administered ropivacaine locally in the iliac region under general anesthesia.
Conducted heart rate variability (HRV) analysis to evaluate neurological changes.
Monitored conventional circulatory parameters post-procedure.
Detected neurological changes through HRV analysis.
Conventional circulatory parameters did not show significant changes.
HRV proved sensitive for detecting perioperative stress not visible in hemodynamic measures.

Abstract

Local administration of ropivacaine in the iliac region under general anesthesia resulted in detectable neurological changes, as evidenced by HRV analysis, though conventional circulatory parameters remained unchanged. HRV may provide sensitive detection of perioperative stress beyond what is captured by hemodynamic measures alone.
