Epidural Anaesthesia in Infants and Children

F. G. RUSTON M.D.1

1 Hamilton, Ontario

Epidural anaesthesia has been employed in 77 infants since 1949 for the operation of pyloroplasty, for other abdominal procedures such as intussusception, resection of bowel, hernial repairs, splenectomies and for operations on the hip joint. The agents were procaine 1 or 2 per cent in the earlier cases, and xylocaine 1 or 2 per cent with epinephrine 1/200,000 in later cases. The technique has been satisfactory to anaesthetists and surgeons. The author's technique is described.

Note:

Presented at a meeting of the Ontario Division, Canadian Anaesthetists' Society, Ottawa, April 3, 1954.
