Abstract
Regional anaesthesia is now a well recognized and accepted technique in the practice of paediatric anaesthesia. It may be used in conjunction with general anaesthesia or as an alternative to general anaesthesia, for example, in high-risk infants. This technique offers excellent postoperative pain relief. However, age-dependent and clinical differences must be recognized for safety.
