Abstract

Continuous plexus and peripheral nerve blocks offer the potential benefits of prolonged analgesia and faster functional recovery after surgery in pediatric patients. We report the feasibility of a new patient position and long-axis nerve scan with ultrasound (US) for controlling perineural catheter placement for continuous mid-femoral sciatic nerve block in a pediatric case. We think that long-axis view of the sciatic nerve with US during placement of perineural catheters in a child is an effective technique.
