Perspectives in Pediatric Ambulatory Anesthesia: Part 3-One Center's Evolving Regional Anesthesia Experience and Outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to document the changes and outcomes of regional anesthesia (RA) practices over a 14-year period at a pediatric ambulatory surgery center. They found a significant increase in the use of peripheral nerve blocks, particularly with the introduction of ultrasound, while the use of central neuraxial blocks declined. The study highlights improvements in anesthesia preparation time and clinical outcomes, including reduced pain and opioid use, emphasizing the evolving nature of pediatric RA practices in their facility.
