Abstract

Regional anesthesia, and in particular peripheral nerve block (PNB) techniques, complement existing anesthetic and pain management strategies and facilitate a comprehensively safer experience for the pediatric patient. Ultimately, the use of regional anesthesia cultivates a more satisfactory experience for all involved. Complication rates are very low, making PNBs a very safe option as proliferative incorporation of ultrasound technology has led to further enhancement of regional anesthesia safety and efficacy in the pediatric population.
