Epidural Anaesthesia in Paediatric Surgery Present Status in the Hamilton General Hospital

F G RUSTON MD

The role of epidural anaesthesia in paediatric surgery is presented as a continuation of the preliminary reports which were published in 1954 and 1957. The technique of epidural block has been modified by the advent of Carbocame and Nesacame so that Xylocame is no longer in a singular position. The introduction of the modified Wagner Point needle has added greatly to the safety and facility of epidural block. Continuous epidural anaesthesia has been used in prolonged serious abdominal operation. A reply has been attempted to the criticism of paediatric epidural anaesthesia. Safety measures have been emphasized. The author beheves that although epidural anaesthesia can hold a position in the practice of paediatric anaesthesia, yet it should not be used unless all the members of the surgical team have confidence in its application.
