title: [Combined regional anesthesia of the lower extremities in children with cerebral paralysis].
abstract: The authors share their first experience of combined regional anesthesia during surgical interventions into the lower extremities in children with infantile cerebral paralysis (ICP). A hundred and twenty-five blocks were performed in patients aged 5 to 20 years. Lidocaine, marcaine, naropine, or a mixture of lidocaine and marcaine mixture, were used. The paper describes the specific features of techniques for femoral-sciatic nerve blocks in these patients, shows the adequacy of anesthesia at surgery and the very good course of the postoperative period due to continuous analgesia and the alleviation of muscle spasticity in the operated limb.
