title: [Locoregional anesthesia in pediatrics].
abstract: Local anaesthesia may consist of a sensitive and a motor blockade. It is essentially used in human clinic for the sensitive blockade which is induced. All techniques or nearly are possible in regional anaesthesia for children if they are practised with discernment by a physician accustomed to the same techniques in adults. But caudal anaesthesia remains the most commonly performed and simple. The main advantages consist in abolition of intra- and postoperative pain, calm and comfort but also in a decrease of respiratory complications. There are two leading risks: infectious and especially toxic after an accidental injection of bupivacaine. These techniques should be systematically proposed but carefully carried out in all suffering children.
