Implication

Supports expanded peripheral regional anesthesia in children; hypothesis-generating for ultrasonography safety benefits, requiring prospective trials.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Children undergoing regional anaesthesia
I
Intervention
Regional anaesthesia techniques (central and peripheral accesses, neurostimulators, ultrasonography)
O
Outcome
Safety and complications of regional anaesthesia techniquessafety

Peripheral regional anaesthesia is increasingly used in children, and modern guidance techniques like ultrasonography and neurostimulation may further improve safety.

Limitations

  • Complications are probably underestimated.

Cite This Study

Frédéric Lacroix (2008) conducted a review in Regional anaesthesia in children. Regional anaesthesia was evaluated. Regional anaesthesia in children is increasingly used, with peripheral accesses representing the majority of techniques, and modern approaches like ultrasonography may improve safety.
