Abstract
Continuous paravertebral block has not previously been described for use in children. This study reports the use of this technique in five patients (aged 7 months to 8 years) scheduled for renal surgery or cholecystectomy. The block was not difficult to perform and provided good intra- and postoperative analgesia. Continuous paravertebral block appears to be a promising technique for pain management in children and might prove a valuable addition in the field of paediatric regional anaesthesia.Keywords
