title: [Anesthesia and lumbar epidural anesthesia in an infant with third-degree burns].
abstract: Epidural route is widely used in adults for injection of drugs, but it is not so often used in pediatric patients. We present the case of a 8 month old burned infant who received anesthesia and analgesia through a lumbar epidural catheter. The insertion of epidural catheter is described. Two surgical procedures were performed under epidural anesthesia with 0.5% bupivacaine an epinephrine 1:200.000 (2.5 mg/kg). 16 hours of postoperative analgesia was obtained with epidural morphine (0.05 mg/kg). No side effects were seen. We analyze the uses of epidural anesthesia in pediatric patients, the catheter care in the burned child, the hemodynamic changes observed during anesthesia and the results of peridural morphine.
