[Plexus analgesia in childhood with special consideration of the "loss of resistance"-method and psychic care of children (author's transl)].
The possibility of a brachial plexus block in children is discussed and presented as a relatively safer method than general anaesthesia. 10 cases aged between 4 and 13 years are reported. Intensive verbal communication with the child during the procedure is essential and sedation may have disadvantages. Prolonged post-operative pain prevention can be achieved by in an indwelling Venflon cannula.
