AB  - Modern  pediatric  anesthesia  would  not  be  conceivable  without  the  use  of  regional  anesthetic  techniques.  For  instance,  regional  anesthesia  decreases  the  need  for  mechanical  ventilation  following  major  thoracic  or  abdominal  surgery.  In  addition,  the  need  for  intraoperative  and  postoperative  opioids  decreases  accordingly.  Perhaps  most  importantly,  the  entire  perioperative  experience  is  less  stressful  for  children  whose  perioperative  pain  is  adequately  managed.  Most  of  the  advantages  of  perioperative  regional  anesthesia  are  demonstrated  in  central  neuraxial  blocks,  specifically  for  caudal  continuous  lumbar  or  thoracic  epidural  blocks.
