Bloqueos centrales guiados con ultrasonido en infantes, niños y adolescentes Ultrasound-guided Central Blocks in Infants, Children, and Adolescents ISABELLA MUKHERJI, MD, CHANDRA CASTRO, MD, SANTHANAM SURESH, MD Anesthesiology News 2011;37:4. Although the use of regional anesthesia in children has been limited, the field holds clear promise. The introduction of ultrasound (US) guidance, along with numerous focused workshops at major specialty meetings, have altered the outlook and increased participation and use of regional anesthesia in pediatric practice. This article will review the use of US-guided central neuraxial blocks as they apply to practice in infants, children, and adolescents. In particular, it will focus on 3 US-guided regional techniques-the caudal block, epidural analgesia, and the paravertebral block (PVB)-that are gaining popularity in this patient population. http://www.anesthesiologynews.com/download/PedBlocks_AN0411_WM.pdf
