Intravenous regional anaesthesia in children.
Fifty children, aged 3-12 yr, received intravenous regional anaesthesia for the treatment of either simple forearm fractures or elbow injuries. The technique obviated delays in treatment and allowed the child to be discharged from hospital immediately after treatment. There were no complications resulting from anaesthesia, but there was one anaesthetic failure.
