Key result
Pediatric regional anesthesia techniques demonstrate confirmed safety in recent large datasets.
Why the study?
Recent advances in pediatric regional anesthesia and safety data from large datasets were not previously available to guide clinical practice.
What are the recent advances and safety data regarding pediatric regional anesthesia?
What are the recent advances and safety data regarding pediatric regional anesthesia?
Recent large datasets confirm the safety of common pediatric regional anesthesia techniques and introduce novel blocks.
Safety data from large pediatric datasets support broader regional anesthesia adoption; leaves open need for prospective efficacy trials.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: The clinical practice of anesthesia continues to evolve and grow toward increasing quality and safety while improving the patient and family perioperative experience. Within the realm of pediatric anesthesia, advances in regional anesthesia techniques are important part in this aim. RECENT FINDINGS: The aim of this review is to provide an update on recent advances in pediatric regional anesthesia. This includes an emphasis on safety data from large datasets that previously were not available. In addition, novel blocks within pediatric regional anesthesia will be described. SUMMARY: Large data sets have given clinical providers information into the practice of regional anesthesia. It has confirmed the safety of common regional anesthetic techniques in addition to providing guidance to improving outcomes for children.
