Pediatric Peripheral Nerve Block Upper Limb Anesthesia Key Peripheral nerve blocks have been gaining significant popularity in the daily practice among pediatric anesthesiologists. nerve blocks in children have an excellent risk–benefit ratio and are readily acceptable by both parents and children. although the performance of peripheral nerve blocks in anesthetized adults is often debated, such practice is well accepted in pediatric patients. An interscalene brachial plexus block is ideal for any operation involving the shoulder and upper extremity. it involves the blockade of the brachial plexus at the level of the superior (c5 c6), middle (c7), and inferior trunks (c8) in the interscalene groove between the anterior and middle scalene muscles. since the suprascapular nerve arises.

Pediatric Peripheral Nerve Block Upper Limb Anesthesia Key Updates from the latest north america pediatric regional anesthesia network (pran) registry of more than 100,000 nerve blocks showed that ra in children has an acceptable level of safety comparable with adult practice, with us technology progressively replacing nerve stimulator techniques and with the majority of nerve blocks being performed under general anaesthesia. 8 neuraxial blocks are. Lower limb (7.1%) and upper limb (5.9%) peripheral blocks were under represented despite evidence highlighting their safety and efficacy compared with central techniques . caudal blocks have a low failure rate, low complication rate and excellent safety profile, with one registry of nearly 20,000 blocks showing no long term sequelae [ 20 ]. Introduction. peripheral nerve blocks of the upper extremity are used for operative anesthesia and or postoperative analgesia for a variety of upper extremity surgeries. this topic will discuss the innervation of the upper extremity, techniques and drugs used for upper extremity nerve blocks, and complications specific to these blocks. Nerve blocks of the upper limb although nearly all surgical interventions on upper limbs can be conducted under regional anesthesia, the reports on the use of these blocks in children are limited. lack of training in regional anesthesia, and pediatric regional anesthesia in particular, is likely the main reason for the dearth of data.

Anaesthesia when nerve blocks are performed. ultrasound guidance is preferable when available. a peripheral nerve stimulator and insulated needles are the next best option although successful blocks can be achieved with non insulated needles.6 nerve stimulator many peripheral nerve stimulators are available. The elbow is flexed with the shoulder externally rotated and the forearm supinated. prepare the skin and, if ultrasound is used, the probe. a 50 mm short beveled needle (insulated if using nerve stimulation) should be used. a volume of 1–3 ml of 0.25–0.5 % ropivacaine or bupivacaine is adequate for this block.
