ESRA/ASRA recommendations in local anesthetics and adjuvants in the pediatric population

Abstract

Growing concern regarding the effect of anesthetics used in general anesthesia in the neurodevelopment of the pediatric population; Loco-regional Anesthesia in this population takes greater importance.

But, what do you know about the dosage of local anesthetics in this population? Due to this uncertainty and the little published about it, the ESRA (European Society of Regional Anesthesia) and the ASRA (American Society of Regional Anesthesia) have decided to meet to establish recommendations about the dosage of local anesthetics and adjuvants in loco-regional anesthesia in the pediatric population. This document has been summarized, in a schematic way with tables, to facilitate understanding. In this way, its content is available to all those interested.
