Regional anesthesia in pediatrics carries low but avoidable complication risk when proper techniques and safety measures are employed.
Regional anesthesia in children is increasingly popular among anesthesiologists due to its benefits. While complications are rare, they can occur due to nerve identification, equipment, medications, or technical errors during the procedure. Although most complications are minor and not life-threatening, it is crucial to perform pediatric regional anesthesia cautiously to minimize risks. Proper technique, suitable equipment, and strict patient safety protocols can help prevent complications effectively.
