Horner's syndrome is a potential, albeit rare, feature of continuous infraclavicular brachial plexus local anesthetics infusion, mainly the result of anatomical considerations. Horner's syndrome may be described as an "unpleasant side effect" because it has no clinical consequences in itself. Nevertheless, patient discomfort and anxiety may reduce acceptance of the analgesic technique. Reassurance and close clinical monitoring of the patient are essential to enhance patient's safety and acceptance of the technique.

Burn patient requires multiple visits to the operation theatres and undergoing anesthesia with its attendant risks and post anesthesia recovery. It is possible now with the availability of local anesthetic creams like Prilox to conduct these procedures in the minor OT without any discomfort to the patient. ⋯ Both techniques of local anesthestic creams and nerve block are safe and convenient to use. Nerve blocks are more useful where larger grafts are required, the creams being more useful in children and where less graft is required.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of bilateral infraorbital nerve block with intravenous fentanyl for analgesia following cleft lip repair in children.
The efficacy of analgesia with bilateral infraorbital nerve block and intravenous (i.v.) fentanyl were compared for cleft lip surgery in children. ⋯ Bilateral infraorbital block is superior to fentanyl in terms of analgesia, and time to awakening and feeding.
