Pediatric epidural analgesia (PEA)

Anthony Moriarty. Paediatr Anaesth. 2012 Jan.

Abstract

The pediatric epidural is an accepted method of advanced analgesia in children. Newer techniques have now superseded pediatric epidural analgesia (PEA), being as effective and safer, especially with the advances in ultrasonography. PEA is, however, still an important technique to master and employ, and it may be that the indications for this mode of analgesia have now become more defined.
